NEW! What's your Practice? 

A new survey on OP member presenting practices will be sent out in early January.  The survey is short - only 10 questions - and takes approximately 5-7 minutes to complete.  The purpose of the survey is to provide a visual framework for presenting members  to think about their current presenting practices, where they would like them to be, and the resources they require to get there.  Results will be aggregated into a short report to paint a composite picture of the province’s presenting field. Watch your Inbox for the email with the survey link coming in early January.
