Meeting/Event Information

We are excited to host our 3rd Quarter 2026 meeting at Hotel Carmichael in Carmel, IN! We are currently finalizing our speaker lineup and will continue our AI Pulse series. The full agenda will be shared soon.

Based on positive feedback, we’ll be bringing back our Kahoot! quizzes in a fun and engaging way. We will also provide an update on our chapter’s progress toward the 2026 goals. As always, the day will be filled with valuable education, meaningful networking, and a strong return on your investment of time and membership.

This quarter, we’ve introduced a separate complimentary registration for the networking event. You only need to sign up for this if you are not attending the Education Day. If you are registered for Education Day, your networking attendance is already included—no need to register twice. We appreciate your patience as we continue improving our website to better meet our needs.

A sincere thank you to our annual sponsors, who will be featured on our banner display throughout the year and in our social media. We also extend our gratitude to Hotel Carmichael for their generous venue sponsorship. Additional sponsorship opportunities may be available—our communications reach an audience of over 800, so stay tuned if you're interested.

We look forward to seeing you in Carmel, IN this September!

Rehab Your Activity Addiction!

Carrie Burton, EdD, Productive Learning

Still struggling with that elusive thing called work-life balance? Leaving work exhausted but feeling as though your to-do list simply grew? Join us for an insightful, interactive, and fun session on how to use Mindfulness and Emotional Intelligence to help cure the stress and escalating demands of your work day. We will take a look at what happens physically when you reach a state of "busy tizzy," how to practice response flexibility, and how to command your sense of presense for greater productivity and focus!
