2009 Rocky Mountain Regional Conference

“This conference rocks!” That is one of many compliments that I heard about our 2009 Rocky Mountain Regional Conference. Twelve people were able to attend this year’s conference in Grand Island, Nebraska. Everything was wonderful, the food, the presenters, all of the small details that were taken into care and consideration. It was all wonderful and many thanks goes to Rebecca Plambeck and Britteny Beckstrom for organizing and planning the conference. We had so much fun and learned so much. We also were able to introduce our region to our first time attendees: Rose Miller, Johnnie Means, and Zep Sylvis (Pacific Region). In addition to the classes we also recognized Judy Dill (Level I), Sue Nedderman ( Level II), Angie Palmer ( Level III), Suzie Payne (Level III), and Rebecca Plambeck ( Level I) on receiving their certification. We did complete some business at this conference and came up with new policies and a budget for 2010. (The details from this meeting will come out soon with a copy of the minutes from the meeting.) We also elected Rebecca Plambeck as our new secretary for our region. It was also decided that Alayne Stevens, Judy Dill and Bobbie Hoffman will be making plans for our 2010 conference.

Overall, this conference was such a wonderful time and I’m not talking just about the classes, food, and all of the freebies that we received this last weekend. The best part was the fellowship. We as a region are truly blessed to have such a great group in our region…and on that note I am excited to see all of you back at next year’s conference and those that couldn’t make it this year…well I’m anxious to see you in 2010.

God Bless,


Angie Palmer
