Thinking 'bout THR Opportunities
November 25- November 29, 2024
Each category is listed by the deadline date (when known). With the new year approaching, the selection of Events & Opportunities became too long for some emails. I have split them into separate postings to make them more email-friendly. I’ll send out an updated Events version next week. If the split version is still too long for email (it is for some!), you’ll have a clipped message link at the bottom of your email. Click that to view this whole listing.
You can quickly find updates since the last edition by looking for “*NEW*.
