ACB Tuesday Topics Podcast
ACB has deadlines! These are coming up pretty soon! They relate to things that will happen at the ACB convention. It is a tradition of this program that, at this time each year, we invite folks to tell us about what is on offer. We know we will hear from the Durward K. McDaniel First … Read more
Two weeks ago we spent time looking at new technology that is making sporting events more accessible. How are things now? Are they better than in the past or worse?
