Feedback from Conference Attendees

“I’ve never met a more interesting group of people…This group is friendly, dynamic, and supportive. It was one of my best conference experiences and I’ll be back for more next year.”
-Sam Bradley

I’ve been to many conferences, even put on one or two. But this was the best! …The depth of experience and level of knowledge was awesome. I’m sure everyone walked away with new information. The timing was stellar–everything moved along so well. Lastly, although I’ve been a PSWA member for years, this was my first conference. I felt so welcomed by everyone that I consider this group family.
-Thonie Hevron

Hats off to the organizers and participants that made the conference so great and fun.
-Barbara Becker Lloyd

…my appreciation to all those who worked so hard to put together a terrific conference.
-Rabbi Ilene Schneider, Ed.D.

I second the appreciation for those who worked so hard to make this another terrific conference, thank you!
-Dave Cropp

I loved the conference this year and wanted to say thank you to those who volunteered! I’ve been to several others and in my opinion, PSWA puts on one of the best!
