Reflections and thanks
Thursday, July 23rd, 2009
Dear Conference Participants,
Thank you so much for attending the 2009 SIM Conference. We always learn so much from you, and you have us already thinking about next year. Please be sure to provide us with feedback through the Survey Monkey link as soon as possible.
Your feedback on the Wednesday strands will be particularly useful in developing our plans for next year. Three of this year’s strands were led by SIM® Professional Developers, whom we called upon to lead the strand because of their depth of knowledge on the strand topics. Next, we asked Professional Development Leaders whether they would help to develop and participate in the strands and asked them to designate the strand upon which they would most like to collaborate. As you experienced, their involvement in the planning and delivery made for a spectacular day.
Thank you to Helen Barrier (who did double duty with the Wednesday strand and Friday’s brilliant Slide:ology Pecha-kucha), Candace Bixler, Kristina Braud, Gail Cheever, Beverly Colombo, Vicki Cotsworth, Barbara Duchardt, Barbara Ehren, Peggy Graving-Reyes, Ann Hoffman, Patty Kohler-Evans, Jerri Neduchal, Suzanne Robinson, Shari Schindele, Sue Woodruff, and Michael Faggella-Luby. To each of you, leading the strand work meant giving up the freedom to attend a strand, but your voice was too important to miss. You are pure gold!
