Greetings  CEAT Members!

I hope you are all doing well.  Our 40th Annual Business and Education Conference in Garland was AMAZING! There were so many people that attended for the first time with close to 300 people in attendance over 120 cities represented. Thank you to the City of Garland for an eventful conference. For those that attended, we hope you had a great time. For those that were unable to attend, we missed you and hope you can make to the next one in El Paso.
