Topics:

We are kicking off 2022 with a panel that will be looking at programs and the people who run them.

• What skills are necessary for a robust team to serve your company?
• How do those skills differ from what you looked for pre-Covid?

We will review these topics with a panel of VMS Professionals along with related job descriptions, skills, and corresponding salary ranges.
