2017 NCLR Annual Conference Recap: Day One
The 2017 NCLR Annual Conference got underway today in Phoenix. We returned back to our roots by going to Arizona and we couldn’t be happier to be back home.
Below are highlights from the Day 1 of #NCLR17. Check back here for more highlights of Day 2.
#NCLR17 is finally here! We recommend you get to your workshops early. Seats fill up pretty fast and we wouldn’t want you to miss out!
