As much as we were hoping to meet in-person this year, we’ve determined the best path forward is to move the 2021 ASFPM Annual National Conference to a virtual event. We had great success with our virtual conference in 2020, and with this extra lead time, we are planning an even better experience this year. The full virtual program will be posted soon, and registration will open in February. Stay tuned and make plans to join us, May 9-13! #ASFPM2021More details on the conference website: www.asfpmconference.org ... See MoreSee Less
