It's September, and that means our monthly luncheons are on the schedule again after taking the summer off. We will meet at the YMI Cultural Center again this year, and our first luncheon is scheduled for Wednesday, Sep. 16 at 12:30. We are excited to have Camille Stell with us as our speaker presenting on AI Ethics. You may remember her presenting on the technology of AI at a previous CLE. This is a one hour ethics CLE credit at no cost to members, so click here to learn more and register.
