Have you ever wondered about some
of the opportunities at an Annual Meeting and Professional Improvement? Have you
ever wondered exactly what do I get for attending these conferences? If you
answered yes to either question or just want to make sure you’re getting the
best bang for your trip, then this webinar is for you! Information will be
shared about the NACAA AMPIC to be held in Mobile, Alabama from July
20-24th, the registration process, and tips and tricks from seasoned
attendees to help you get the most out of the conference.
The Alabama Association of County
Agricultural Agents and Specialists (AACAAS) and the NACAA Early Career
Development Committee would like to extend an invitation and encourage you to
attend the 2014 NACAA AMPIC. We are very excited about this year’s event and
confident that the program offers opportunities for program sharing,
motivational speakers, and meeting agents from across the U.S. Plus, the
registration fee for any first timer with less than 10 years of experience is
FREE!
The first step you need to take is
getting registered. For someone new to the NACAA AMPIC, this can be somewhat of
a daunting task. There is a very comprehensive schedule to navigate through and
numerous decisions that need to be made on what to attend. Well, we’re here to
help. The NACAA Early Career Development Committee is offering a free webinar
that will hopefully make your decision to attend the NACAA AMPIC process much
easier.
An hour-long webinar will be held
on Friday, April 25, 2014 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time. We plan to highlight the
benefits of attending the NACAA AMPIC, what events and activities first timers
and others can and should attend throughout the week and finally we will take
you through the steps of the registration process. This will be a live webinar,
so if you have any questions, the presenters will be glad to help you out.
