“Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress. Working hard for something we love is called passion.”
The HETMA Board, Chairs, and Volunteers have been working hard to provide all manner of opportunities for our members. There are scholarships, speaking engagements, networking opportunities, and professional development offerings, and a lot of them are back-to-back. It might even feel overwhelming to our members to keep track of all of the awesome things available to them! The last thing we want is for someone to miss out on a great opportunity, or feel the dreaded FOMO. In case you missed it, below is the HETMA lineup for the next three months.
