EO Virtual Meeting
We will be holding another EO Virtual Zoom Meeting on November 26, 2019 from 11 AM - 12 PM. Since this is a meeting for you all to discuss the topics pertinent to you, please email Joan with topics you’d like to see discussed on the agenda. A final agenda and login instructions will be sent closer to the meeting.
President’s Installation & Member Meeting
Registration is Open for the Member Meeting and President’s Installation taking place on February 7, 2020 at Stone Harbor Resort in Door County. While it may be a hike for some, we would love if you could make it and are looking forward to a great day of business and fun in an area of the state we don’t often get to. Robyn has been working hard with us to put together a great evening complete with a comedy show for the entertainment this year. Please get yourselves registered and include both events in the upcoming events section of your emails to members.
Trends in Housing Conference
Registration for our inaugural Trends in Housing Conference will be opening soon. This event will be taking the place of our spring Advocacy Day next year given the lack of activity in the legislature. Agenda is below.
