SESSIONS:
VIRTUAL PRECONFERENCE SESSION
(All registered attendees invited)
May 18, 2021 at 6:30pm
In preparation for the June 18 - 19, 2021 Annual Conference Sessions, all Lay and Clergy Members of Annual Conference will be invited to a Pre-Conference meeting. The agenda typically covers a few topics which we think Members might appreciate hearing more detailed explanations, along with opportunities for asking questions. This is intended to allow people to have extra time to think about these topics before Annual Conference and allow us to have shorter explanations during the Annual Conference Session. As we get closer to conference, we will have a better idea of the topics we will cover for this year's Pre-Conference meeting.
