Finding work-life balance takes mindfulness and effort. Author John Holland notes that when determining rational decisions, there must be a state of balance among emotional, mental, physical and spiritual processes. Therefore, the Professional Development Conference team is proud to announce this year’s theme event: Work-Life in Balance.

8:30 a.m.-3:45 p.m.

Sessions run from 10 a.m. through 2:45 p.m.
