Paul is a long-time LERN Consultant with expertise in marketing. Together we have done many LERN seminars and conference presentations and developed LERN's One-Year Business Plan Model. During their New England visit we went to see the Red Sox play (Paul is a Yankees fan and enjoyed seeing the Red Sox lose), went to the baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY and enjoyed fish dinners on our porch. It is always fun connecting with good friends away from work. Looking forward to seeing Paul next at the [LERN Annual Conference in Orlando](http://www.lern.org/conference/) in November.       ### LATEST NEWS Video: How to Get the Most From a LERN Membership LERN Video - The LERN Program Review: Position Your Unit for Success LERN Cancellation Rates and New Programs: A Lesson From Netflix Kathryn Lynch-Morin Ready for Liftoff: Drones and Drone Courses are More Popular Than Ever Kathryn Lynch-Morin Working with the University of Nebraska - Omaha LERN [Tweets by @LernUpdates](https://twitter.com/LernUpdates) [LERN Club Sign-In](http://beta.lern.org/club/)
