Looking to spend some time thinking about regional work and connecting with colleagues from the region?
Regional Salons are half-day, virtual, learning opportunities that provide a balance of content and opportunities to connect.
These lively gatherings are designed by members, for members, around a theme or topic of critical importance, and tap subject matter experts in and outside of UPCEA, as well as spotlight the important work of our members. Regional Salons provide members a chance to grow their professional networks, to showcase their accomplishments, and to solve unique and shared challenges with peers.Thursday, August 13, 2026: New England Region
