AZBO Fall Institute 2025: A Success!
"Thank you for your time in organizing this training. Love the location, it is closer, more accessible, and having the lake so close for a break during the lunch break (was terrific)...speakers in both of my sessions were knowledgeable and kept the class going.
The food was excellent, ...everything was great!"
~Building Plans Examiner, Scottsdale
"I just want to share that another awesome institute wrapped up this week. Our education chair, co-chair and committee did an excellent job and everything went beyond smoothly. And of course, Shelly's strong work was critical to make sure it happened at all.
I didn't hear a single complaint from anyone. I think it was a great turnout and the classes offered seemed to be well attended and what people wanted.
What an amazing (AZBO) group you all are!"
~ Barbara Rice, AZBO Executive Chair
