Conference Recap:
Thank you so much for your involvement in our annual conference July 18-20 in Champaign themed ‘Strengthening Families – Preparing for Careers”. With your participation and input from members, we had another successful conference for our members. It was so wonderful to get together, reconnect with old friendships and make new ones, especially since we didn’t get to have our conference in person last year.
There were eighteen sessions, two luncheon speakers, three tours (Lodgic Everyday Community, Sola Gratia Farm, Bohemia Boutique), and an evening lesson provided eleven professional credit hours that included topics on technology, teaching methods and tips, culinary, nutrition, child development, interior design, fashion and textiles, psychological and emotional issues, pending state laws, and funding. New officers were elected and installed at the annual business meeting.
