As you know, the NSFGA 2022 Annual Convention on January 26 has morphed from an in-person to a hybrid to a fully virtual event over the space of a few weeks. The Annual Convention Committee has worked hard to make this Convention a success and with the help of Jeff Wentzell (NSDA), it has become a reality. We would therefore warmly welcome you to register for the 2022 Annual Convention as there are many excellent speakers and sessions that are relevant and practical so you won’t want to miss them. Visit the event page to register for the Convention. On the event page you can check out the agenda, speakers and sessions in the event.

We really look forward to having you join us on January 26th. If you have any problems with the registration, please don’t hesitate to contact me and, with Jeff’s help, we’ll get it sorted out.
