Gauging Interest in Madison imis Users Gathering?
The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry uses imis as our database.
Are there any other area associations that would like to compare notes about how they use imis, what "plug ins" are working well, and advice they could use?
Let me know. Our team would be happy to host a pilot meeting to see if there could be a benefit to getting together on a regular basis.

March 21 - 22, 2018
American Associations Day, planned for March 21 - 22, 2018, is the only legislative fly-in where association professionals can connect with Congressional offices and share their stories on important association issues.

The event is open to any association executive, staff member or leadership volunteer who is passionate about association issues and wants to make a difference, as well as meet and network with fellow advocates from across the country. Registration is free, and out-of-town attendees are eligible to receive a scholarship of up to $300 to reimburse travel costs if they visit their members of Congress.
Th
e education session on March 21 is worth 3.5 CAE credits.
