Due to the high cases of COVID 19 the Winter Conference at the Marriot in St. Louis has been canceled.  If you made a room reservation, you need to call the Marriot and cancel it yourself.  All banquet tickets made will be refunded to you.  We will get out any information on how we will handle this conference to you as soon as we know.  Have a safe and Merry Christmas.

Would you like to join the Department meeting and training at the Fall Conference?  You can by logging in with Zoom.  We want you to be able to follow along during the trustee training, so below the zoom meetings below, you will find all the forms we are going to be using during this training.
