Our goal is to encourage those of you that have not been able to participate previously, but meet the scholarship criteria, to see firsthand the value of the professional development offerings. We understand these are challenging financial times, as we are all asked to do more with less, but keeping current is a key component to your institution’s success. These professional development sessions will help keep you up-to-date with the latest educational facilities management trends, issues, and solutions.
