Brain Drain- Smashing the Myth

What people are saying about our events:

Advocacy Boot Camp
Tim Schultz, Canisius College MBA Student

"December’s Advocacy Boot Camp Primer proved to be an insightful session that not only touched on issues and hot topics but also educated its audience on what they can do at a local and state level to get their concerns heard. If this meeting is any indication of how the rest of the program will follow, I’m sure it will be a huge success."
Molly Yoder, Sales Associate, Hadley Exhibits Inc.
