The words "thank you" just don't seem to fully express our gratitude and appreciation to all involved in this weekend's fall conference. From our board of directors to our many conference sponsors, the supportive vendors and exhibitors, to those who presented sessions & workshops both days, and of course, all who attended. We had about 120 art educators in Lincoln!
And it takes a village to make it all happen. Thank you to the Lincoln Planning Team --- Lynette Carlson Fast, Mollie Leisinger, Nissa Sturgeon, Debbie DeFrain, Kellie Covey, Amy Allerheiligen, Jennifer Bockerman, & Jane Woita Mlinar....and several other members who stepped up to help at the banquet. Kudos to you all. We share in the success of our work. We are very proud that this conference, the largest fundraiser NATA does annually, was very financially successful. The profits will be used to support the incredible work of our members and leaders. So, thank you for sharing your story with us this weekend. See you in Kearney next October for the 2018 NATA Fall Conference! -Lorinda Rice & Bob Reeker- |
