Some of the amazing door prizes committed to date include: a Yeti Mug set, a $50 gift card, and a $100 gas card. We invite you to join us at this year’s Annual Conference. As a reminder, the early bird registration savings (a $20 savings per registration) for the INARF 2022 Annual Conference is available until August 31.

Don’t Miss the Upcoming INARF Virtual Professional Development Training: Balancing the Work-Life Equation on August 30 We did it! Without warning, a majority of the workforce abruptly changed their work-life balance to adjust and survive the COVID-19 pandemic, and two plus years later, some have found a new healthy work-life balance, and many have not. If your balance continues to evoke trepidation for you or members of your organization, then this training is for you. We invite you to register to join us in-person, without interruption, on Tuesday, August 30, to learn how to self-reflect using a Thought-Feeling-Action model, create an action plan to incorporate work-life balance into your daily life, and create a work culture rich in balance.
