2024 Theme and Mission Announcement
Dear UTRID Members,
2024 Theme
After considerable deliberation, the board decided on “Come Together” as the theme for 2024. An anthem of our commitment to unity, collaboration, and progress, it’s a call to action for us as professionals to bring not only ourselves together but also the skills and talent we carry into our work for the benefit of the consumers we serve.
2024 Mission
In the coming year, our focus is on bringing together UTRID’s operations for clarity, transparency, and alignment. We aim to structure our processes for easy communication and handoff, benefitting our board, committee members, and cherished members.
This entails documenting our operational procedures, transforming valuable insights into tangible processes. By streamlining our operations now, we’re laying a robust foundation for UTRID’s long-term success and sustainability.
2024 Events
While this internal alignment takes place, we remain committed to providing essential professional development opportunities for you and your colleagues:
- Spring Workshop: March 16th
- Multi-day Summer Conference: Aug. 8-10th
- Fall Networking Social: TBA
- Continued Processing of CEUs State-wide
