All That Was in ’22 & Looking Forward to ’23

What a year it’s been. We have gone from all virtual meetings and trainings, flex in-office workdays, to in-person/hybrid conferences, and still forgetting to unmute before speaking! C2ER and its members have done a lot this year. You can find a comprehensive recap looking back at our accomplishments below.  

As a first resolutions for 2023 you can get a jump on some things, like the C2ER/LMI Institute Annual Conference. We have a pre-sale going on now where you can attend next June in Detroit at 2022 prices! 

As this is the last Bi-weekly update of the year we want to wish you all a very happy holiday and much success in 2023. Thank you for being a part of the C2ER community!
