National Extension Conference (Tag: nexconf)
As you’ve read elsewhere, our national conference will be in Sacramento on March 24-27, 2014. I hope you’ll join us there! But if you or colleagues won’t be in Sacramento, join us virtually by participating in some of the 53 sessions which will be web-streamed. The whole conference is listed in Lanyrd.com/2014/nexconf. Only those sessions to be web-streamed are also listed in Learn.extension.org/events/tag/nexconf with a link for each learning event.
