If you volunteer on a committee, there is a change coming in the near future. We will be transitioning from Microsoft Teams to Google Workspace.
Please look for an email from office@cpsn.org with instructions to activate your new cpsn.org Google email and activate your account by Friday, June 12th.
We are working on documentation to make this transition smooth. You will get detailed information as soon as it is available, and we wanted to give you a heads-up.
This change will save our organization money and reduce the workload for some of our committees. We hope that it will make life easier for all of us.
