Thanks to Anne Wisener, Barbara Renner and the rest of the ABEA Board for putting on an amazing Conference! The sessions were great and the networking opportunities provided were invaluable. Well done.
Thanks, Ryan. I’m looking forward to the coming year with the new ABEA executive board and members because of all the exciting activities and workshops we talked about. Barbara
I am writing to compliment both Barbara and the webmaster for doing such a great job on the ABEA web page–the BEST in the whole WBEA (in my opinion). Well done! You have both put in time & effort on the development of the web page that has paid off for your members. Many kudos to both of you! Ken, your Canadian friend
WOW – Thank you for that huge compliment – I know it’s coming from a couple of very discerning Canadian eyes!! Josh Belhumeur, our webmaster, was superb in setting us up. I have been elected to the 2011 – 2012 Board as the new webmaster for ABEA, so I will continue to learn and update – I have big plans – and Josh is always there to bail me out of trouble. Josh is still the professional.
Kudos to all involved in setting-up the ABEA conference in Tucson. This conference had many very interesting, useful workshops. I especially enjoyed the presentation by the keynote speaker, Dr. John Mulcahy. His description of the CTE Delivery Model truly shows CTE’s contribution to a well rounded education.
Kudos!
Thanks, Francis. Anne did a terrific job organizing the conference. The evaluation form will be posted soon, so all the attendees will be able to evaluate the conference so ABEA can continue to provide outstanding conferences and workshops.
