Welcome to the 2020 County Presidents Conference. We’re glad you can join in virtually since you couldn’t make it in person. You will get the most out of this experience if you download the handouts for each presentation before watching the video.
Make time to discuss what you learn with your Regional Manager, and make plans to implement the best ideas you pick up.
Use the Action Planning page to record your favorite ideas and review them with your Regional Manager.
