Our monthly Professional Development Program will be held on Tuesday, October 18, starting at the usual 11:30am.

Why the 18th? This October brings a sequence of holidays that impacts the date of our monthly Professional Development Program. As you know, we normally have our program on the second Tuesday of each month. The exception is when that Tuesday falls right after a Federal holiday. If this happens, we customarily hold our meeting on the second Wednesday of the month. This year, Columbus Day is the second Monday (October 10), so we should shift our monthly Program to Wednesday, October 12. This year, however, the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur falls on October 12. As a result, the Executive Board decided to defer our Program to the following week. We hope you will be able to join us on October 18 for a terrific presentation from Jeffrey Vargas, CLO of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, entitled “Cultivating Innovation from Within:  Teaching with Tools.”
