"The California Presenters Membership Conference is so meaningful for my own professional development and for my organization because it feels intimate, is easy to navigate, and provides many opportunities to connect with peers in the field. I left feeling inspired by the work of others, and gained a better understanding of what we are doing collectively as presenters in California." ~Marie-Reine Velez, USC: Visions & Voices, The Arts and Humanities Initiative
