Welcome Back!
Thank you to everyone for your patience during my semi-absence these past couple months. As I navigate welcoming my fourth (!) child into the world, I appreciate your grace and understanding.
We had a fantastic ethics CEU event in March, a wonderful turnout, and an impressive speaker. I was delighted to meet some of of you there! Thank you to everyone who attended and made the event possible, including our presenter Sandie Kopels, JD, MSW, as well as to ABC Counseling who helped sponsor the event and found the meeting space. Now, I am back and ready to plan our fourth quarter networking event! Keep your eyes peeled for something planned during the beautiful spring months.
