ELAM News to Know
Join the ELUM Community in San Antonio
We're a little over a month away from the 2nd ELUM Professional Development program in San Antonio - will you be joining us?
Currently, more than 80 ELUMs have registered, representing 17 different classes.
- The classes of '12 and '13 are the most represented, with 18 members of each class registered to attend.
- '10 and '11 are close behind with eight and nine ELUMs registered respectively.
- The only class not represented so far is the class of 2000.
This is promising to be a great event and gathering
of the powerful ELUM community.
Don't miss out - there's still time to register!
