NAPM Central Illinois

Welcome to spring!

I trust everyone had a wonderful holiday season and that you are ready to retire the snow shovels and parkas and trade them in for shorts and sunglasses. It’s been a long cold winter so if you’re like me, you are ready to enjoy the spring and the warmer weather that accompanies it.

NAPM-Central Illinois has two great educational opportunities left on our calendar before we take our summer break. The first event in April is a dinner meeting focusing on communication skills in managing client/vendor relationships. Additional information follows below. Our next speaker in May is Daniel Stanton from Caterpillar, look for details in our next newsletter. We hope to see you on April 16th!
