and services and exchange ideas with
other volunteer leaders. One of best
parts of the conference for me are the
presentations given by noted speakers

to hearing from an industry participant
who has something important to share
with volunteer leaders. I have always

Oct 26th, Garden State Exhibition
Center. From what I understand, there
is going to be some fun stuff too!

of Community Association Residents
