Another year and another successful conference. It appears the new venue at Crystal Mountain was a big hit. In this economy we are so grateful for everyone's participation. Attendance was up from the past two years. I want to thank everyone for their efforts in putting together a wonderful conference. I hope we all walked away with a new sense of purpose for our jobs and information that will continue to help us in our professional lives. We’ll be at Crystal again in 2010 (September 15^th – 17^th) to celebrate our 25^th Conference. Many exciting things are already in the works and we are looking forward to seeing everyone next year and hopefully even more new faces. Sincerely, Katie Dopke Read More Add Comment (0) Hits: 303
