Thank you for attending our chapter education day!

Thank you to everyone who attended the Mountain States Education Day in Salt Lake on April 2! Dian Thomas did a wonderful job of walking everyone through the different ways to get FREE publicity in magazines, newspapers, radio, TV, and online. Highlighting her advice with real world examples she used during her very successful career, all attendees left feeling as though her advice was very realistic and doable. Thank you, Dian!
