Next month, I’m excited to attend my 10th annual CITE Conference, this time in a new role. I’m so proud of the care our staff puts into this event each year and their dedication to keeping the content and activities fresh.



We’re also launching our newest academy on Identity and Access Management, a topic sourced entirely from member and community feedback. Please keep that feedback coming by taking our annual member survey. It helps us keep delivering the information you need to support your work!
