COVID-19 UPDATE
Events between now and through the end of April are cancelled, unless we are able to conduct the event in a virtual space. Since future challenges from COVID-19 could disrupt critical MLC functions, we are developing contingency plans. We will evaluate events from May 1 and beyond as that date gets closer, and as the situation presents itself.
IF YOU ARE ALREADY REGISTERED FOR AN EVENT, WE WILL CONTACT YOU. Visit our COVID-19 webpage for updates.
