Find a place to connect & engage with other GBA members!
As we move into the new year, we are hoping this will be a post-pandemic year, where we can see things get back to normal with more in-person gatherings. We realize that everyone is somewhat “zoomed out” however virtual meetings have provided benefits in reduced travel and meeting time.
One way to become more involved in our Association is to participate on a planning team. Below are a few opportunities to explore. Let us know your areas of interest and we can help make that connection. Many of our councils and committees meet quarterly with kickoff meetings scheduled for January & February. We encourage you to get involved in one of our primary areas of focus for the year.
