Leadership Conference Update March 12, 2022

We look forward to spending the day with all who have registered for the 2022 Leadership Conference. 

As we transition from two years of harsh working and living conditions, much pain and uncertainty, ALNAHN extends its most sincere welcome and gratitude to our attendees, Exhibitors and Sponsors, all who have courageously and selflessly served to improve the lives of our communities. The speakers and topics for this conference were intentionally selected for the purpose of providing inspiration and an opportunity to reset our professional and personal compass, heal the human spirit, and hopefully rekindle and form new relationships.

March, what a great time of year. It’s when the world begins to shake off the cold of winter and transition into longer and warmer days, a signal of growth, change, and a new outlook. We welcome you and encourage you to embrace the day, enjoy, learn, connect, and be inspired!

As a reminder, check-in begins at 7:30 am on the first floor of the  (The Harbert Center in Birmingham). Parking is on the street or parking garage across the street.
