CONVENTION 2023
The annual convention of the William Glasser Institute Ireland was held in the Sandymount Hotel, Dublin on Saturday 7th October 2023. This was the first time a WGII event had taken place face-to-face after the long days of the pandemic.
It was obvious from the outset that people were delighted to be together again in person. A special surprise at the opening of the event was a recorded message from Carleen Glasser, the widow of Dr Glasser.
