HLAA Groups Upgrade

Dear HLAA Groups.io Member, HLAA is in the process of upgrading our HLAA Groups.io accounts to Enterprise level. The transition should occur soon, possibly this week. We have been assured that all HLAA groups should continue to function as normal, but we wanted to alert you of the upgrade, in case there are any possible issues. The HLAA Groups that will be included in this upgrade are: HLAA Leaders HLAA Newsletter Editors HLAA Advocacy HLAA Tech HLAA GITHL We hope the process will be seamless and we will notify you of future changes as the Enterprise upgrade is made. We thank you for your patience and appreciate your participation in HLAA Groups on Groups.io. Best regards, Carla Beyer-Smolin Chapter and Membership Coordinator
