TODAY IN THE BAY
Hello everyone!
We are excited to announce that the CMIA Bay Area chapter has partnered with PartsSource to bring the AAMI AEM Workshop last held in Anaheim in April to the Bay Area!
While the Anaheim workshop was priced at $395 for AAMI members thanks to the support of PartsSource we are able to offer the workshop absolutely FREE for all HTM management in the Bay and surrounding areas.
Due to the cost of this event, we are only able to offer the workshop if we have a certain number of attendees. We currently have 15 spots available!
If we can’t fill the workshop we will have to postpone to a later date.
The workshop will be held Saturday, July 20 7:30 am – 3:00 pm with lunch included.
