The Board of Directors held their August Board meeting this week. Below are a few highlights from the past month and upcoming events:
This month we launch RD101. Registration was filled within the first 20 minutes! We are working through this pilot and creating a sustainable plan to offer this program regularly. Thank you to everyone who has worked on this program!
We’ve wanted to find more ways to recognize our members, so we have created several new awards. You’ll hear more about this soon. Please be on the lookout for the call for nominations to honor exceptional members and programs.
We will continue to bring you our conference content virtually during Sept and Oct. We have had great turn out for these events! Huge thank you to all of the presenters and virtual conference organizers! Check out the NORDP calendar to register for all upcoming events.
Many of our regions are hosting regional events of all sizes from discussion groups to happy hours to conferences. If you’d like to know what your region to planning, reach out to the contact listed on the NORDP Regions webpage and subscribe to your region’s listserv.
A reminder that I, along with other NORDP Officers, am hosting a drop-in office hour once a month. These are typically the first Monday at 11am (eastern) however, September’s drop-in time has shifted due to the Labor Day holiday. You’re welcome to join me on Tuesday, September 8 at 11am (eastern).
Sincerely,
Kimberly Eck
