Regional Congresses
Under the auspices of OEPF yearly regional 2-day Congresses are organized in various regions of the United States. These congresses provide participants with Continuous Education (CE) as well as a wide array of interesting topics.
Seminars are presented by professionals in the field and all presentations have been reviewed and approved by the Congressional Education Committee.
Typically, the Congresses are scheduled when the regional Congress committee learns of interest in certain topics.
