Who or What Made an Impression on You?

Some comments made by conference participants..................

* Jim Holloway's rural talk        
* Deb Elder and Martha Petty were wonderful in getting conference plans together and making adjustments
* George Otero, Dr. Nic Clements & Anthony Salcito offered real ideas and had great information and experiences to share.  They sparked ideas for me to go out and pursue
* NCEA Staff represent the organization well!
* There were two highlights for me- two workshops that really stood out and made an impression. These were the workshop on building partnerships with universities and the Citizen Schools workshop. I was already in the inception of building a partnership with a local university with the intention of having university students engage in a project to teach elementary school students about different disciplines and professions through apprenticeships. When I attended the Citizen School workshop and saw how successful their work was with professionals in communities offering apprenticeships to youth it was so inspiring!
* Thank you for having the Canadian Community Schools attend the conference, it was a wonderful experience for me.
* Definitely the talent and positive energy that was evident with the Leadership Group that worked for two days on recommendations to the NCEA Board regarding the revitalization of NCEA.
* Highlights for me were the hard work, commitment and support for NCEA of those participating in the Leadership Summit and the tremendous work of the Arizona Community Education Association's members to putting on such a great conference with very strong professional development programming.
* I love coming to the NCEA Youth Summit to find other teens that want to be leaders and make an impact on our communities
* I really enjoyed the ball of yarn activty it was a lot of fun and something I have never seen or tried before.  Great way to get to know people.
* The dedicated work of the Phoenix team to put on a great conference.  Kudos to Martha Petty and the committee for their hard work and excellent hosting
* The Leadership Summit brought a depth of discussion that is absolutely necessary at this critical time in the life of NCEA.  Bridget Gothberg and Bob Whitman deserve our gratitude for their excellent facilitation work
