Team,

Just a quick note to let you know the FPRA Training event for this Thursday is being rescheduled for October 25. For some reason we were not able to get a lot of people to sign up for this training event, so we are currently regrouping to provide you with a good training session on the same topic, but in a bit of a different format. Pricing and length of the event will change.

Stay tuned for updates! But for now, please plan to join us on Oct. 25th at Holiday Inn Melbourne Viera: 11:30am – networking, 12 noon program.

Thanks to Justin for an excellent, informative presentation!
