2010 Convention Rates A+

    From passing a revised Constitution and Standing Rules to jazz by the river...the 2010 International Convention offered something for everyone. Workshops provided information on wine to Sudoku and all items between...for learning new skills, for serving on committees, for hearing about projects, for entertainment and for professional and personal development! Panels about technology, going green and international education also brought new ideas into the mix.
    Amanda Gore! She was a hit! Such energy. Also learned from CEO of Coke, Chris Rants and Ann Marie Rhoades. How to lead vs. manage. How to contact legislators to get results! and how marketing and mind sets can affect what you think and do.
   We met; we learned; we were heard; we voted; we voted again and we cheered. If you were not one of the approximately 1,500 members in attendance, you missed an excellent experience.
