Workshop Session Information One of the many perks of attending convention is the programming! Convention workshops and sisterhood events help us to rejuvenate our sisterhood while educating ourselves about the various issues we are all encountering (or those we may encounter in the near future). As we are headed in a new direction as a membership, it is important that our workshops help us lay the groundwork for future years of professionalism, unity, and leadership. Sisters can customize their schedules by mixing and matching events specifically relevant to your developmental needs and goals. Visit the Schedule-At-A-Glance page for additional workshop information. A full convention schedule will be provided at convention registration.
