While HLAA-TC meetings are on pause for the remainder of 2025, we wanted to highlight some helpful information already at our fingertips on our HLAA-TC Website on the Resources Page. Today we are highlighting the “Links on Government Help and Resources (MN)”. These links have been compiled through the years and oftentimes have been provided to us by various chapter meeting presenters. Be sure to check out these links and share them with anyone who you feel may be interested. [Note: Any videos shared have closed captions.]
