45th Annual Conference

For the last 44 years, the association has hosted an annual training conference for its members at a major resort destination. This event provides an opportunity for information sharing among participants and provides structured workshops and seminars on a variety of topics.

Each conference features prestigious speakers from various fields with useful information for our members to benefit from and also planned social events.
