Virtual Mini Conference Recap
Thank you to the NERVES member who attended our recent Virtual Mini-Conference on April 22! We received great feedback from our members about the presenters and their topics. If you missed it, we are offering the recordings from our two presenters Dr. David DeLong and Mike Heaton. We didn’t record the Breakout Roundtable Hot Topic Discussions – you had to virtually “be there” to participate in this amazing session of networking with your colleagues. NERVES Roundtable discussions are a true gem, so we hope everyone will participate in them at the upcoming Orlando Annual Meeting.
