Insurance Claims Reopened for CADCA’s 2010 Leadership Forum

CADCA was able to issue more than 400 2010 Leadership Forum refunds for registrants who were unable to attend the event during the historic blizzard. Our efforts were successful due to the detailed background information provided by registrants.

Bridging the Gap Between Research and Action
