Truly an exciting program of seminars, entertainment and shopping filled the 3 day event on Sept. 24-26th.

Exciting new additions to the WIN – Women’s Instructional Network made it even more valuable. The training which you can do at your own pace online and then it tracks your progress and credits was a wonderful step forward, now there are a larger collection of tools for members to interact with each other and share articles, upcoming national and regional events and even upload photos and videos that relate to our members.

The association is ready for the next 60 years and has adopted a national team approach for conferences. This means that members across the nation can volunteer to assist on the conferences – they don’t need to be from the area where the conference is taking place to participate.

This is the first year that 4 teams of members from east, west, north and south filled the registration, logistics, auction, and credentials teams. The co-chairs Amy Dawson (California) and Lina Lawson (Texas) hosted with fun and grace, energy and excitement!
 More to come. Stay Tuned.
