Don’t take our word for it; read what some of last year’s conference attendees said!

Met lots of wonderful people and learned about new programs and ideas to build coalition.

I truly felt that this year every session I attended was valuable to my work, and even my personal life.

I was amazed at the level of knowledge speakers have about substance use prevention and how it applies across the continuum of working with youth and families in the school setting.

The education opportunities were beyond my expectations.  I only wish I could have attended more breakout sessions.  I am so sorry I did miss some. 
Not enough time to do it all.
