Attendees left this past weekend's ASCCA Summer Conference saying it was the best in recent memory! "The weekend was awesome," said one attendee. "Thank you all for giving me a weekend I will never forget." The content was great, the speakers were amazing, and everyone learned a lot. Attendees also appreciated the wonderful opportunities to reconnect with colleagues and make new friends. We remembered and celebrated some of our members' accomplishments and saw firsthand how important it is to have our chapter members come and grow!
