Hello IAP2 Members and Friends,
 
Last chance to RSVP for this event. Parking is free at the Kennedy School
and nearby on the street. Please plan to arrive early to get checked in and
seated so we can begin at 1 o'clock.
 
In addition to a great learning event, we will offer tasty snacks and
beverages. Afterward, stay for the Cascade Chapter holiday social and enjoy
lively conversation with your professional colleagues!
