Catch up on Professional Development Reading Poolside

Sure, it’s fun to dive into an exciting novel by the pool (or sink into the screen of your smartphone!), but why not make the best use of your relaxation time? A quiet evening at the pool, country club, or beach can be a surprisingly nice place to catch up on continuing education requirements, industry updates, or community news.
