“
Annual Conference is my favorite professional opportunity every year. I sign up on day one! The amount of idea sharing, collaboration, energy and support between members that goes on for five days is so rewarding and refreshing every year. I like to describe it as an event run by people who run events - every session, topic, speaker, location etc. is thought of with so much detail and care that it inspires me to bring that experience back to my campus and instill it all into our visits and events.” Mike Targonski - Valparaiso University
