<a href="https://www.jcep.org/">JCEP Extension Leadership Conference</a> (<a href="http://www.jcep.org">www.jcep.org</a>) is February 12-13<sup>th</sup> in San Antonio with speakers and presenters who will share their perspectives on the conference theme “2020
vision for the future of Extension.” Nationally recognized speakers and breakout sessions provided by your colleagues across the nation will share applicable skills and ideas you can use right away in your programming.</span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Register at jcep.org so you can reap the benefits like one of our 2019 participants who said the conference is a “great way to meet with folks from other states and across
disciplines while fine tuning leadership skills and getting new programming/logistical ideas.” Attendance has been growing for the last several years and we’ve already had a big response, but registration is still open and a nearby overflow hotel will help
you experience more of the Riverwalk. I don’t want you to miss out on this great opportunity.</span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Please join me in balmy and beautiful San Antonio just before Valentine’s Day – you’ll be back in time to give, get, or just smell the roses. If you can’t make it to ELC,
please consider PILD in April for a new perspective of our national partners in Washington, DC.</span></p>
