OCARMA members who attended GLA's April Seminar, Information Nation Boot Camp, can be reimbursed $100! That makes the price LESS than the GLA member price.
To claim this great member benefit, just make sure you get your receipt from GLA and send it to our treasurer, Robin Roberts at treasurer@ocarma.org, after the seminar! It's that easy. Open only to current OCARMA members and only to the first 20 to submit their receipts.
