Epsten, APC Educational Events

 

At Epsten, APC, we believe that well-informed managers and board of directors are better prepared to govern associations and protect associations from both preventable membership discord and litigation. In addition to our annual Legal Symposia, we offer multiple other educational events, including Free Fridays and Legal Lessons for community association managers and Board Basics and Board Boot Camps for board members.
