Conference Chair Message
Hi ACR members,
Greetings from the 2015 Summer Conference Program Committee!
Have you made your reservations to attend this year’s conference in Portland, Maine, from July 9th through the 12th?
Early registration ends on Tuesday, June 9, so please get your registration in.
The Program Committee has been busy putting together an interesting agenda for you. Some highlights:
- Are you wondering how Connecticut’s Regs Modernization project has progressed since we heard about it last year? We’ll get an update.
- The publishers in attendance will tell us what they do with our register and administrative codes.
- John Martinez will give us federal updates.
And more!
If you have any suggestions or want to present something to the group, please let us know.
We look forward to seeing everyone in Portland next month.
