The International Convention in New York City was very exciting as over 2,000 gathered at the Sheraton on 7th Ave. for inovating speakers, shopping, dynamic breakout sessions, shopping, broadway shows, shopping, inspirational general sessions, shopping and  a wonderful Marketplace!  Plans are already in motion for the Regional Conferences next summer which will be in Cheyenne, WY; Orlando, FL; Branson, MO; Portland, OR and Amsterdam in The Netherlands.  Start planning!  Think ahead also to the 2014 International Convention at the JW Marriott in Indianapolis, IN.

The Iowa State Organization Convention held in Council Bluffs was a huge success!  Energetic leadership training for new chapter officers, great speakers, and wonderful breakout sessions allowed for much personal and professional growth.  There are so many great happenings in Iowa.  The excitement is contagious!


While in Iowa, I visited Sioux City and learned much about the area.  It was fascinating and is a place you should visit.  It will surprise you!
