“Our shared values on the importance of knowledge and education create the core of our organizational synergies. Our assets will help expand The Institutes’ offerings into new topics like workers’ compensation and ergonomics, while The Institutes’ long-term commitment will enable us to expand our digital platforms and develop some very exciting and innovative approaches at our events.”
