Summer Leadership Conference 2010 Wrap-up:
NYS PTA MEMBERS
EXPERIENCE “UNDER THE SEA” AT 2010 SUMMER LEADERSHIP
CONFERENCE AT UTICA COLLEGE
New York State’s 23rd Annual Summer Leadership
Conference was held this year at Utica College in Utica, New York, from
July 30th -August 1st. The
Conference consisted of workshops and leadership training for our
members who attended.
A total of 279 members from all over New York State
were given the opportunity to brainstorm, network and meet new friends
throughout the many workshops that were presented.
There were 48 workshops presented in many different areas of
expertise. This year’s
workshops included the Parents As Reading Partners (PARP), Technology,
and Cultural Diversity series, along with first time presentations of
the new PARP Tool Kit and the Bylaws EZ process.
All of these workshops were geared to help our members and
members become better leaders of today and to help mentor our leaders of
tomorrow.
This year we had 9 exhibitors in our exhibit area.
We also had a first time sponsor, “Pointless Products, Inc.” of
our conference and appreciate the support.
There was a wide array of products from environmental to program
related ideas.
The weekend was not only filled with leadership
training but also some fun activities.
On Friday evening the members were entertained by and
participated in the trivia game “The Brain Show”.
Members were grouped into teams and were challenged on their
expertise in trivia. On
Saturday evening members were entertained by high school senior pianist
Nick German from New Hartford, New York.
Nick has given solo performances and played with the Utica
Symphony Orchestra and plans to study piano performance and percussion
education in college.
It was a learning and fun filled weekend for all.
Our members left on Sunday to return home with a wealth of
knowledge, many new friends, and more aware of being a better leader and
advocate for children. This
will be shared with their members in helping to prepare them to be our
leaders of tomorrow.
