Fall Seminar

The Fall seminar will be October 27-28, Saturday & Sunday, at Lake Blackshear just outside of Cordele in South Georgia.

As always, you will be able to earn 10 CE hours.  The agenda and speakers are finalized for the Fall Seminar.  That information is listed below along with registration and attendance fee information.  We think our Fall Seminar will be just as fascinating and informative as the Spring Seminar.  The attendance fee includes four meals and two breaks.  Dinner Saturday night will be on our own.  The resort will be having live entertainment at the Cypress Grill by the lake and celebrating Halloween as well.  For those of you who wish to watch the GA-FL game, we will end our day early enough Saturday that you can watch it either in your rooms or in the lounge.  We hope you will join us for a weekend of information, food and fun!
