Introducing Education Month: More Time, More Learning, Greater Impact
Building on the previous success of the USBG National Education Week (EdWeek) program, the first USBG National Education Month (Ed Month) was a triumph! Between September 1-30, over 24 chapters hosted more than 235 hours of educational programming for over 1996 participants! By expanding the program from a week to a month, chapters had the flexibility to schedule events in a format that worked best for their community, whether that was a single day with multiple seminars, a select week during the month, or a specific day of the week (e.g. hosting an event every Monday of the month).

The USBG Education Committee initially created this program to challenge each chapter to host multiple educational events for its members as part of a collected organization-wide initiative to highlight and focus on ongoing education offerings for USBG members. Education Month events are promoted with the common hashtag #USBGEdMonth.
Thank you to all of the Chapter Leads and Chapter Leaders who helped to organize their chapter’s events, as well as to everyone who participated in their local events!

What is National Education Month?
A Chapter-Crafted Journey
The beauty of National Education Month lies in its adaptability. Each USBG chapter can design its programming to best fit their members’ needs. Whether it's a single-day multi-seminar event, a full week of education, or recurring sessions throughout the month (e.g., every Monday in September), the choice is up to each chapter.
