National Conference

With only five weeks to go, the NOSSCR team is hard at work preparing for the 2023 Annual Conference in Washington, DC. We’re pleased to announce we’ve secured a keynote from Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), a champion of Social Security and a longtime friend of NOSSCR. Plus, leaders from the SSA will be on site to speak with NOSSCR members—and we have two special training sessions from OHO representatives on ERAP training.

The Conference will also feature in-depth CLE courses. Whether you’re looking for insights from former ALJ’s, tips for running your practice, or the nuts of bolts of representing your clients, our programming has you covered.

There will also be plenty of opportunities to network with your peers—including at multiple new events we’re introducing for the 2023 Conference, such as the Women Wine Down and the NextGen reception.

If you haven’t yet, take the time to register today. Our team has put together a phenomenal event, and we’re looking forward to seeing you all next month.
