2023 Planning Underway!
HEE Advisory Council
HEE has a wonderful group of volunteers who serve as advisors, offering their input for content and programming, as well as insights on the pulse of the industry. As we move into planning for 2023, we will be realigning our advisory board for more engagement so that we continue to elevate the HEE program in the coming year.
If you are interested in joining our advisory council, please send an email to jen@thepineapplegroup.net.
