A Note from SHDA President Robert Justen

 

Dear Members,

In just over a month, we will all be headed to sunny Florida. I look forward to seeing everyone ‎there. In preparation for the summit don’t forget to review some of the SHDA best practices for ‎the meetings. This will help ensure you get the most out of the time spent at the conference. ‎Also remember that there are serval events that you can add to your agenda to increase the ‎networking value of the conference. Monday there will be a golf tournament at a beautiful ‎course just minutes from our hotel. Tuesday will be a Ben Silver seminar in the morning that ‎has become one of my favorite parts of the event. Wednesday there will be evening ‎networking at Andretti go kart track. All these events can be added to you conference ‎registration. Safe travels to everyone and we will see you soon!‎

Sincerely,

Robert Justen
SHDA President
