Professional Development Day

Thank You to all Contributors

Did you enjoy PD Day? The keynote speaker, the seminars and workshops, the entertainment, the luncheon, the prizes, the networking and sense of community? PD Day doesn’t just happen. It is the result of many hours of planning and painstaking attention to detail, mostly by folks from all over the institute who take on the work over and above their regular duties. Below is a list of all of those that volunteered their time to make PD Day happen.

Perhaps you might like to pass on your own thank you to those you know!
