Well the conference is done and after a little confusing on the program and available information, the conference was a success! I thoroughly enjoyed the program this year as there was as usual a wide array of topics discussed. The students came through with flying colors again and should be commended! As Dr. Crossfield has retired the reins were passed and this year will be a learning experience for the planners of the future.

Thanks again to all the students that made this happen and for those that attended I think everyone will agree. Who would have thought that the Saturday sessions would be so well attended, but then when Gary Kent makes his first appearance to the Fresno Conference I think that speaks for itself. Now I want to hear Gary explain the rest of the lawsuit that he is involved with when it concludes.

Missed Sat, but enjoyed Friday, the attendence seemed to be a bit more that last year, which is a good sign. It was nice to be able to listen to quality speakers without having to drive 6-8 hours to do so. The Panel discussion was interesting to hear the different perspectives. Overall to me the Conference was a benefit. For those that missed out, mark it on the Calendar for next year. It is held near the end of Jan. Do not wait for your invitation but take the responsiblity to enquire, it is worth the effort. And the attendees where not just from Central Ca. A wide mix from throughout the state, LA, Orange, Ventura, Bakersfield, Fresno, Madera, Bay Area, Sac, Redding, and others were represented.
