In the last several months we have gained many new members, and so your
Officers wanted to provide you with this email to outline some of the benefits
and key details of ASCCT membership. Please feel free to contact any of us at
any time with questions, concerns or ideas for activities or engagement.

please feel free to offer suggestions. A recording of the most recent webinar
is now available on the web site.
