While the past year was rather difficult, all of us here at MSATP were very excited and happy for all those who joined us both in-person and virtually for our Annual Convention and Banquet. This years’ event offered 15 hours of CPE from John Kennedy, Bob Jennings, Ryan Jennings, Bill Leonard and Rob Smith! We were excited to see old faces and new that were able to enjoy their time with us in Ocean City, MD.

At the convention we handed out many awards and would like to congratulate all for their excellence and achievement.
