We are now using the features available to us in Eventbrite to promote our PAG meetings. Eventbrite lets us track attendance to these events and as well as ensure that we do no
exceed the room capacity. While we would love for everyone to come, our capacity is really limited to 2 parties from each provider/board
We will still be placing any information from the PAG Meeting on this page. We encourage you to sign up even if the event is full. there is a wait list feature that would allow us to capture your email
and allow us to better judge our capacity and/or need to have multiple sessions.
Thanks,
MIS Staff
