Times are changing, and so are we. This year, covid-19 required employees and organizations to rethink their day-to-day operations. The amount of time spent in meetings (and "at work" in general) has increased, especially for those of us working from home. At the same time, social distancing has made it more difficult for professionals to connect with and support one another.

In the spirit of innovation, adaptation, and support, we hope that you'll join us for NCIOP's first Virtual Social! We don't want to add another lecture or strategy session to your calendar. As a professional network, we want to address the current needs of our members - even if that means deviating from old patterns and experimenting with something new.

Although we are not charging admission, we ask that members RSVP so that we can create balanced break-out groups and distribute links as necessary.

We look forward to seeing you!
