Scott, Blake and Vicki attended. They learned that having the mission to go back to and use as the focus of discussions and decisions is a good idea.

Strategic planning may be our next step in further developing the association.

Meeting planning was a part of the conference – negotiating with hotels, coming up with education topics.
