Dear IAEE-CTC Members,
As we reach the midpoint of the year, it's incredible how quickly time flies. We hope you've had a productive and fulfilling first half of 2024.
With summer upon us, we're looking forward to enjoying longer days, even as we find creative ways to survive the heat! We have some fantastic events lined up, including a behind-the-scenes tour in July and two exciting events in August: an educational program and our summer social, where we can relax and enjoy time with each other.
We value all our IAEE members and appreciate your continued support and participation. Let’s make the most of this period to gear up and finish the year strong.
We look forward to connecting with you soon at one of our upcoming events!
Warm regards,
Michael Triola
Chair, IAEE-CTC
