We are always looking for suggestions from Members of what topics they are interested in and suggestions of interesting speakers. This information is saved and passed along to the next Program Coordinator, so even if not scheduling can't be accomplished immediately, it is valued input! We are eager to provide speakers that are of interest to all of our diverse Members. If you have heard a good speaker, fun ideas for programs or have some educational topics you would like to hear about, just let us know.
