Town Meetings
In an effort to expand communications between our members and the leadership of our Section, as well as to provide a forum for members to discuss issues relevant to their practices, the New England Section of the AUA continues its successful practice of offering a series of "Town Meetings" for each state within the Section. These "Town Meetings" carry no charge and are included as an added benefit to members of the Section. Section members are invited to attend as many of these meetings as they wish.
