ESP Lambda Chapter – Leading, Learning + Connecting

Dear ESP Colleagues –

Consider yourself invited!  The ESP Lambda Chapter officers met today and discussed how to grow our membership, leadership team, and engagement.  Lo and behold – it occurred to us that all should be invited to our regular meetings as well as to professional development offerings (yup…sometimes the obvious is overlooked).  We want you  to connect and feel welcome.   The intent is to cover our business (which discussion can include all) and then be open for chat.

We meet the fourth Friday of every 1 month(s) from 8:30 AM to 9:00ish AM
