This event offers a great opportunity to network and mingle with your industry professionals and of course our sponsors. Don’t forget about the scholarship luncheon where we will award scholarships to very deserving students from assisted housing across the Commonwealth to help them with their higher educational pursuits.

We will also be supporting the scholarship program with a fundraiser at Top Golf opening night of the conference. Get your teams together, and please help us raise money to send deserving students to college.
