{"value"=>"<p>Subseries II.D. dates from 1987 to 1999 and chronicles annual board and membership retreats, and ABFE's Professional Development Institute (PDI). Materials are arranged by topic. Membership retreats were always held in Greenville, Mississippi. Board retreats were held in different locations each year. This subseries holds correspondence with the host hotels and caterers for both membership and board retreats.</p> <p>ABFE established the PDI in 1994 as an additional way for members to network and brainstorm future goals or projects for ABFE to pursue. Like the annual programs, member retreats and the PDI had unique themes every year. PDI materials include attendee registration lists, correspondence, budget proposals, meeting minutes, research articles, and schedules.</p>"}
