(Below are the President's remarks from the Mid-Atlantic ALCA Chapter Conference on Oct 23 in Hunt Valley, Maryland.)
Mid-Atlantic ALCA Members:
Why are we here?
If you are a social worker, here for the CEUs, please raise your hand. Nurses? CCMs? CMCs? Gerontologists? Therapists-speech, PT, or OT?
If you are here to network with other professionals, please raise your hand.
If you are here because you are an ALCA member, corporate or individual, please raise your hand.
