NSA National Conference Experience-Phoenix, July 2009
Coleen Kenny tells of her experience as she shares tips for those of us who have not yet attended a National NSA conference.
My NSA Ideas Are Like Oreos... ...I can't have just one!!! By Coleen Kenny
"So much fun and great energy!!" "I had been to the smaller fall and winter conferences in Scottsdale and Orlando, which made a huge difference when attending my first national conference this year. I met more people in the smaller venues and felt like an old pro by the time I attended national!" "Pack a nice suit/dress for the national conference closing awards ceremony. Leave room in your bags for all the wonderful books and resources you will carry home."
"Pack thank you notes so you can write them as you go rather than trying to get them all done when you return to the real world." "Consider a Divide and Conquer strategy. There are so many wonderful concurrent sessions so grab a pal and share your notes. Consider donating copies of your notes to the chapter so we can put them with the conference CDs in NSA-Va lending library." "Have your idea/platform down to one sentence when others ask 'What do you speak on?' '" "Smile and the whole conference will smile with you! Many people approached me to say, 'You are always smiling!' This led to wonderful conversations and new friendships."
"Sit with people you don't know!" "Rest when you need to." "Check with NSA veterans before signing up for anything with vendors or coaches. (per Phil Van Hooser, NSA President 2009-2010)" "Like I said...Oreos...:-)" Thanks, Coleen, for your enthusiastic endorsement of the NSA National Conference as a resource for all members. | |
