Orange Beach, Alabama | May 5-8, 2020 | Our 33rd Year of Providing Quality CE
On behalf of the Alabama Chapter of the Employee Assistance Professionals Association, I would like to welcome you to the 33rd annual ALEAPA conference! We hope you enjoy your week with us and at the beautiful Alabama Gulf Coast. Be sure to take some time and enjoy what is around you. If you are not sure what do after the sessions are over at the end of the day, feel free to ask one of the board members or past conference attendees about tagging along with one of them. As you will find, our attendees are super friendly and are always looking to network and socialize. So again, we are glad you are here. Please enjoy the friendliest, most laid back mental health conference in the region! Boyd Scoggins– Alabama Chapter President
