Mario Carreon, SHPE Sacramento Treasurer, and I had an opportunity to attend the National Institute for Leadership Advancement (NILA) in Dallas, TX. We're wrapping up our 3rd day of workshops and group case study presentations.
Conference highlights so far have been an inspiring presentation on the "Executive Presence" where I was called to speak in front of the room of 400 people and demonstrate how I would start a conversation in an elevator! Talk about being put on the spot. The presenter assured me later he wouldn't have done that if he didn't think I could handle it. I suppose that's a compliment!

The group case studies were intense. The topic was to propose regional and national solutions for increasing professional membership. Groups gave 7-minute presentations in front of judges. Winners are announced tonite at the gala banquet. Fingers crossed!!
Although it's been a pretty great experience so far, I have to admit I'm looking forward to my returning home to (catch up on some sleep) but mostly to keep the momentum going in Sacramento! I'm returning with a ton of ideas to implement in the coming months, so STAY TUNED.
