What attendees said
about last year's event:
"The leadership training was invaluable. I feel energized by the information presented
at the conference, and I know that I can use it to help our organization's leadership team."
"Meeting new people, lots of wonderful ideas on how to provide better
care for people we support and being good team players/leaders."
"I greatly benefitted from meeting other people providing
supports in various ways throughout Oregon."
"Each session I attended served a need and covered topics
that were extremely useful and valuable to me and my team."
"Really enjoyed the content of the sessions and having speakers include the
audience to make it more a conversation than just being talked at."
