Good Afternoon, Everyone!
Just wanted to let the OPRA network know that Teri Derry, our Director of Training & Professional Development, is currently out on an extended leave. We do expect her back by mid-April, but in the meantime, the Spring Conference is being managed by yours truly. This will be my 11th Conference, and I am confident that the event will run as smoothly as ever, but with all humility and gratitude, I request your patience and forbearance while the OPRA staff works through the Conference without Teri’s guidance. Here are a few points to keep in mind:
· All Conference-related inquiries, concerns, and compliments should come through me. J
· Sponsor/exhibitor/advertiser registration will be closed later today. Thanks to all who have signed up – and if you didn’t get a chance to register for the Spring, mark your calendar now for the Fall Conference, November 3-4!
· Attendee registration will be opening up by the end of the week. Registration fees have not increased, so take advantage of this highly-affordable and most excellent training and networking opportunity! (plus, the dueling pianos will be back for our party!)
· The early-edition of the Conference brochure is attached. Please take a look and get familiar with the sessions, so you’ll be ready to sign up for your preferred presentations!
Again, thank you so much for your understanding and support…we ARE OPRA!
Emily
P.S. Teri does not have access to email or VM for the duration of her leave – so, please, do make use of my contact info: 614-224-6772, ebach@opra.org. Thanks!
