advocacy impact day – march 9th save the date!
given the current conditions and uncertainty as a result of covid-19 and keeping our members health and safety top of mind, we’ve decided to convert the advocacy impact day from a fly-in to a virtual event.
while we’re all disappointed that we’ll not be able to meet in person, this change will ensure everyone who wishes to participate is able.
registration will open on thursday, january 27th – please register and mark your calendars now for this essential event! feel free to share with your irem colleagues, as the event is free to all members.
further details on schedule, speakers, issues, and other information will be provided as we get closer to the meeting.
