Meeting Planning
While serving as ACUA's Director of the Annual Conference and as Chair of the Professional Education Committee, I had the opportunity and pleasure to work closely with AR staff as we planned the Annual and MidYear Conferences. The staff are consummate professionals in all sense of the word. They are thorough, responsive and attentive to the many needs and demands of ACUA. I attribute many of ACUA's successes to the outstanding service received from Association Resources.
