[nabs-l] Agenda for the 2017 NABS Annual Seminar & Business Meeting

[Justin Young]

Hello:

I tried clicking on the registration link nd it took me to a page that
said registration for this is closed and I should contact the creator
of the form.  Can someone still register using the link?  It looks
like a great agenda!
