Lynne, despite a heavy workload you mustered the energy and followed through with the kind of leadership and problem solving that has become your trademark. Throughout, you maintained your delightful sense of humour. In the words of one conference participant, “Lynne Wallace was such a joy to see in action.” Do we see Lynne any other way?

Marla, your organizational skills and patience were once again put to the test and you passed with flying colours. With each conference it gets easier and easier.

Dee, once again, the support and direction you provided facilitators, presenters and panelists paid off. Participant feedback indicated a high degree of satisfaction with facilitation overall.

The working group facilitators deserve special recognition. Their role is a challenging one with many unknowns.

Many others contributed to the success of the conference. They include the panelists, speakers, presenters and of course, participants themselves. Once again participants brought an abundance of resources for sharing, enthusiasm for learning and lots of ideas for future professional development events.

Participants appreciated the Ministry update provided by Anne Rachlis. Thanks, Anne.
