Testimonials from past years

"I really enjoyed the conference and the ability to network with others. The topics were great for a person like me who is new to independent schools."

"I don't think I was really prepared for the position I was in. I knew more about what to expect and what to do with this conference."

"I have a lot to learn but the tools discussed during this seminar made me feel much more confident about my ability to do so."

"I was a little concerned that my experience would be further along than what the conference was geared towards, but was glad to find that I still learned quite a bit."

"There was so much info available to a new person like myself."

"All sessions and speakers presented helpful information that was relevant to my position and I learned so much!"
