“Congrats on a successful conference! I have been receiving great feedback from the (111) Y Staff that attended. They liked the fact that multiple fields were represented so that it developed their knowledge holistically. You just helped build many Y educator’s confidence and commitment to the field. They are so inspired by the experience that they are excited to continue the work with the children and the families.”

“ I just wanted to say thank you for having me at your conference. I have to tell you, I went in expecting great things and it was actually better than great. It was excellent! The panels were excellent, I met so many interesting and nice people, and everything was so well organized and user friendly. My presentations went great! It was amazing to see and meet so many people in each session…it was excellent to talk to like minded people who are passionate and committed to the education and well-being of our children. I am just going to tell you flat out: I am definitely applying to present at Opening Minds 2018!”
