Thank you for providing the professional development scholarships. The learning opportunities are phenomenal. We really have learned so much we can bring back to our community.
Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to participate in the conference. I learned a lot and can’t wait to put my learning into action in the classroom.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to go to the conference. To be immersed in fun learning, to be fed and entertained, and to be housed there was such a special time and way to experience it. Thank you so much — I am a more whole and a better person because of it.
Support from Federation for continuing education for youth professionals like me really means a lot. There is nothing like being able to get together and learn with and from people who do the same kind of work around the country.
