MALSCE Leaders Thank 2024 MALSCE Convention Attendees who Participated in the Post-Convention Survey

Members of the MALSCE Board of Directors and 2024 Convention Planning Committee thank 2024 MALSCE Convention attendees who took the time to complete the online post-convention survey questionnaire. The survey response rate was higher than normal and respondents provided valuable ratings and comments. Their feedback was mostly positive with more than two-thirds of the respondents agreeing that they found the convention to be enjoyable and informative.

A planning committee is already being formed for the 2025 MALSCE Convention, which is being hosted by the MALSCE Eastern Massachusetts Chapter. 2024 Convention attendee feedback is being shared with members of this group who will take it into consideration when organizing next year's program.
