The purpose of the interest group is to provide a forum for information exchange and to make recommendations as appropriate to the Association. Normally, interest groups will communicate by phone, email or other means. As an After Hours event these groups are given the opportunity to meet face-to-face for dinner or drinks as well as a little social networking. Be sure to check out the Interest Group information table for any activities that may be scheduled.
