The ECEDHA Annual Conference and ECExpo is rapidly approaching, and we are looking forward to gathering the ECEDHA community March 17-20, 2023 at the Hyatt Tamaya Resort and Spa in beautiful Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico.
The property is situated on the Native American Santa Ana Pueblo, ancient lands with over one thousand years of rich history and culture. It is nestled between the Sandia Mountains and the Rio Grande River. The program offers a truly special setting for our community to come together for a retreat style gathering.
The ECEDHA Program Committee has been hard at work developing a first-class educational program featuring some of most impressive speakers to date.
