This seminar has been rescheduled with new dates in May, 2021!

We previously sent this notice out scheduled with seminar dates in January, 2021. However, with all that is happening in our society today, we have rescheduled this seminar to May, 2021.  
 
If you or other staff are interested in attending, please feel free to complete the registration form and return the completed form to me to reserve a spot. We will not consider returning this registration form to be a full commitment to attend the seminar, so please do not feel compelled to yet send payment. We can wait until December to receive payment to see if the societal conditions pertaining to the Coronavirus have changed and we are again "doing business" (I hope and suspect that this situation will change by then and this seminar will occur!). 
 
Also, feel free to make your lodging reservation at the host hotel, The Inn @ Opryland. If the societal conditions have not changed and the seminar does not occur, then it is the hotel policy you can cancel the room within 72 hours of the seminar at no penalty. 
 
I hope that these special conditions are of a help and look forward to seeing you in Nashville in May of next year.
