The conference has already made great strides, and I look forward to giving my best efforts to help it achieve even greater success in the future."
Reflecting on the newest addition to the conference’s staff, Executive Director Jeff Caruso said, “Eric possesses talents and skills that make him particularly well suited for legislative advocacy.
