2016 ABMP School Forums Announced

11/23/2015

The ABMP School Forums will be back in 2016, and in three locations across the country to make it easier for school owners, directors, admissions representatives, instructors, career services counselors, and curriculum designers to attend.

The ABMP School Forums will explore the theme “Cornerstones for School Success,” with sessions designed to help schools facing the same core challenges—attracting potential students, enrolling them successfully, creating the right conditions for learning, and supporting them through graduation and their first steps in their new careers. Registration at an ABMP School Forum is $199 per attendee and includes 7 hours of continuing education.

The forums will take place in Memphis, TN, Scottsdale, AZ, and Philadelphia, PA. More information is available at
