[CoIT-PrivateHigherEd] CoIT Summit - Save the Date (May 15 & 16) and Call for Proposals

[Richard Reif]

CoIT members,

The proposal deadline has been extended!   Please encourage your teams to
send a presentation proposal by close of business April 17th.   To make
this an effective professional development experience we need
quality presentations. This is a great chance for some of our introverted
team members to stretch their wings a bit as they will be in a very
supportive environment.
