Webinar Testimonials

“I liked the opportunity to get the most updated information in a webinar setting. Enjoyable experience to not have to drive, and still receive updated information.”                                                                                                                                                  -Kim Pelletier

“The webinar was a great option. If not for it I would not have taken the class as traveling really isn’t feasible. I will take it in the future every year as I think it is important to refresh and learn new laws. Thanks for offering it!”  -Kelly Hairgrove

We are more than halfway there, and time is flying. Before you know it, it will be time for our 50-Year Celebration and Conference. This year’s conference will be at the Embassy Suites in Sacramento’s beautiful Riverfront Promenade.

We are just five months away from conference, and this is one you won’t want to miss. We will start our Friday with the Jack C. Janney Memorial Golf Tournament, and a Capital Tour, then at 5pm we are delighted to announce the Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court, The Honorable Tani Cantil-Sakauye, will attend and speak at our opening reception and cocktail mixer. She is the 28^th Chief Justice of the State of California and the second woman to serve as the State’s Chief Justice. Then later that night, we will be playing poker or bingo.

This year’s main guest speaker will be Stephanie Chandler, she is the author of nine books, including, Own Your Niche: Hype-Free Internet Marketing Tactics to Establish Authority in Your Field and Promote Your Service-Based Business. There is no need to wonder how to build your online presence to increase exposure, Stephanie will teach us how to identify and attract your ideal audience online and optimize your website.

Saturday we will continue with our Annual Business Meeting, educational speakers, history spotlights, and 4 raffles. After the Saturday night banquet, we will be dancing the night away, so bring your dancing shoes.

This will be the first year our election of officers will be done online prior to conference. The new policy will be out soon, so stay tuned. This new policy will allow more members the opportunity to get involved and share their knowledge.

We are still busy planning and putting the schedule together, it should all be ironed out soon. This won’t be like any Annual Conference you have ever attended, so please help us get the word out.
