    IMPORTANT CHANGES

    Some links will now appear as red text, rather than the previous underlined or teal text.
    A hand will appear over anything that is a link.

    The content of our website has been moved around, and you'll now find the information that you're looking for in different sections.
    For example, everything related to our chapter activities is now found under the MEETINGS navigation tab. The Job Bank now has its own navigation tab. However, Professional Education, Members-Only, and other information is now found under the RESOURCES navigation tab.

    This is a great excuse to do a little exploring, so start your journey and contact the Webmaster 
    if you have any questions.
