Friday Night Welcome Reception
Installation & Rewards Dinner (6:00pm)

SCMA’s 30th Annual Fall Conference will start with a welcome reception installation dinner and awards ceremony. You will get the chance to mingle and network with fellow attendees over drinks (non-hosted) and tray passed hors d’oeuvres.

Finally, we will express our many thanks to outgoing SCMA President Dr. Jack R. Goetz, Esq. and our Immediate Past President Jason Harper.
