Quotes:
“We've built a community, we refer to it as a family actually, just because that's a big part of our value system is just about, you know, supporting each other and being a network and being a community that helps each other regardless of whether our role is on the industry side or on the district side.”
“Education is a people's business. So we believe that the people need to get together in a more efficient way.”
“We've been connected in other ways. There are many different ways to connect. Yeah. And this year, we've tried to find as many as possible that are pandemic friendly. Each event we do we pivot more toward what we used to do.”
“We want to provide knowledge, guidance, strategy, intelligence, from the seat of a district leader to our industry partners”
