Throughout the year, more than 1,700 attendees gathered at seven SMPS regional conferences. Our participants were hosted in the great cities of Tucson, AZ, Sacramento, CA, Oklahoma City, OK, Orlando, FL, Wichita, KS, Milwaukee, WI, and Lake George, NY.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t attended a regional conference before, they\u2019re led by volunteers representing almost every chapter while keeping the SMPS mission in mind: to advocate for, educate, and connect leaders in the building industry. The conferences provide an elevated professional experience in an intimate environment and organized to support geographical networks and culture.<\/p>\n<p>These experiences and opportunities happen because of the hard work and dedication of our regional conference planning committees. On behalf of HQ and the board of directors, thank you to them and to the sponsors, speakers, and attendees. And a special thank you to the planning committee chairs who led the organizational efforts. In many cases, they served for multiple years due to delays related to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Heartland Regional Conference (HRC)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Justin Juley, CPSM<br \/>\nSMPS Wisconsin<\/p>\n<p>Patti Keillor Rohde, CPSM<br \/>\nSMPS Wisconsin<\/p>\n<p><strong>Missouri Valley Regional Conference (MVRC)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lindsay Young, MBA, CPSM<br \/>\nSMPS Wichita<\/p>\n<p><strong>Northeast Regional Conference (NERC)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sharyn Yorio, FSMPS, CPSM<br \/>\nSMPS New York<\/p>\n<p>Kate Petrovich, CPSM<br \/>\nSMPS Philadelphia<\/p>\n<p>Dayna Abbott Berryman<br \/>\nSMPS Philadelphia<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pacific Regional Conference (PRC)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lesley Cocores<br \/>\nSMPS Sacramento<\/p>\n<p>Tracy Jenkins, MBA, CPSM<br \/>\nSMPS Sacramento<\/p>\n<p><strong>Southeastern Regional Conference (SERC)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rachael Frohardt<br \/>\nSMPS Central Florida<\/p>\n<p>Stephanie Jude<br \/>\nSMPS Research Triangle<\/p>\n<p><strong>Southern Regional Conference (SRC)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Guy Choate<br \/>\nSMPS Southeast Louisiana<\/p>\n<p>Shonnah Driver<br \/>\nSMPS Fort Worth<\/p>\n<p><strong>Southwest Regional Conference (SWRC)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Katy Konik<br \/>\nSMPS Arizona<\/p>\n<p>Rebecca Lavezzary<br \/>\nSMPS Colorado<\/p>\n<p>Megan Mickey, CPSM<br \/>\nSMPS New Mexico<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your continued support of SMPS, our members, and the A\/E\/C industries,<\/p>\n<p><em>Mike<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Michael V.
