Each year, we offer a Fall, Winter, and Spring Workshop with state and national speakers on topics of interest expressed by our members. Workshops are held at a central location and include breakfast, lunch and networking.
While virtual workshops were held during the pandemic, NJSPRA is returning to in-person workshops for 2022-2023! We will also add virtual power hours for hot topics as the need arises, and these are included in your membership.
