The Society hosts an international meeting every summer. This summer it was a meeting in each of the five regions. With bags packed to meet the airline weight limits, I met Dr. Carolyn Rants and Phyllis Hickey at the Austin International Airport on July 6. Around 10 p.m. Wednesday, August 12, I returned to Austin. My second bag came the next day.
Seeing everyone is terrific! Experiencing the varying programs is informative! Participating in incoming officer training is challenging.
Traveling is … begin patted down; unpacking/undressing to go through security; reorganizing your purse/toiletries into plastic bags that have nothing to do with how you plan to use them when you arrive; lugging paperwork for meetings, speeches, notes and work through airports and planes…and then the joy of being met by someone who is genuinely glad to see you.
Photographer Jim Miller documented our Regional Conferences. The pictures I am sharing do not include the laundry in my room or other behind the scenes work. They reflect some of the fellowship and education of the meetings.
