Wish your local chapter could participate in the GET TO KNOW YOUR LOCAL CHAPTER (G2KYLC) event????

Well, why can't you!?!?!  It's as easy as preparing a display board highlighting your local chapter's accomplishments, asking for volunteers that will be attending conference to dedicate some time on Sunday, and then contacting Claire Bartkewicz, Claire.Bartkewicz@aapcca.org, to reserve your spot.  It's just that easy!!!

Still need some ideas on what to share at G2KYLC:  Has your chapter hosted a joint seminar with another local chapter, or hosted a job fair in your area?  Have you developed a newsletter that all your members are raving about?  Did your chapter create a fun and exciting coding game that you'd like to brag about and show off at conference? 

This is your chance to HIT THE JACKPOT WITH YOUR LOCAL CHAPTER!  So make plans to join us on the first day of conference, Sunday, April 1^st at 2:15pm.  (Location:  TBD; check back often for updates.)
