2014 BOOST Conference Presenter Accolade
This was my first time presenting at the BOOST Conference and I was really impressed with the energy and participation of the participants! Everyone came to the table eager and ready to learn! The participants thought outside the box, were creative, and demonstrated a commitment to their learning and to their organizations as a whole! Regarding the conference as a whole, I speak and attend many different conferences, and I can honestly say, there was a true sense of engagement and community amongst the staff, participants, and presenters. It was really great being part of the energy and excitement! ... Oh and the youth band was phenomenal!!
