Another great state conference finished.  There were highs and lows during the conference, however, Lee Ann did a wonderful job again this year getting the groups working together to build the conference.  For her, I think it was kind of like herding cats.  I have to admit that I was one of those cats.

 

If you have ideas for presenters for next year's conference, please forward that information to me and I will make sure it makes it to the right place.  If we don't take the opportunity to contribute to the building of the conference, we don't have much standing to complain if it isn't to our liking.

 

Phil Chalmers did an excellent four hour presentation on Teen Killers.  Retired Lt. Ed Moses from the Missouri Highway Patrol did another fine drug presentation.  I should have scheduled him for at least four hours due to the wealth of information he brings to the conference...maybe next time, let me know what you think. His powerpoint presentation is here.
