HARP conducts a number of general membership meetings throughout the year as well as a Spring Social and the Annual Research Conference in the fall. The Spring Social marks the beginning of our business year when we introduce the new board members and it also gives everyone a chance to network while enjoying a nice buffet and a festive atmosphere. The day long Annual Research Conference provides an opportunity to receive continuing education credits. Speakers cover a wide range of topics related to medical research, ethics, legal and technical issues. The general membership meetings are dedicated to discuss topics thatare of immediate interest to members. Members also conduct HARP business at the general membership meetings.
