Please see the NESC Spring Training page under the Training/Events tab above for answers to some of the questions we have been receiving at the office; as always, feel free to contact staff at 503-378-0595 or kate@courtstreetconsulting.org and we will be happy to address any additional concerns.
Thank you for your patience during this trying time; we are looking forward to a bountiful recovery and an exceptional 2021 Spring Training.
