 Reconnecting in the Triangle
NCACE 2010 Annual Conference
May 20-21, 2010

We are so pleased that NCACE was able to Reconnect in the Triangle for an annual conference this May, 2010! Having taken 2009 off from the conference, a robust attendance showed the desire of this organization to continue providing vibrant professional development and lively relationships. A shortened conference program in a central location within the State made it possible to host 123 conference attendees. With over 30% of the participants being new members, NCACE is poised for continued growth.

The conference kicked off by connecting and reconnecting members at the New Member and Mentor Mixer, President’s Reception and Hospitality Suite on Thursday evening. Friday morning was off to an energetic start with a session focused on customer service in our work and lives, thanks to keynote speaker Dan Galloway (http://www.thinkbigpicture.com/). NCACE members provided top quality professional development workshops, which received high praise from attendees. We learned about social networking from Sara Concini and Eddie Lovett from NC State University along with Shari Becker from Kelly MarCom, as well as our keynote speaker, Dan Galloway. We learned how to reach first year students from Melissa Kahn from NC State University. Gary Alan Miller from UNC-Chapel Hill and Ross Wade from Elon University shared a session about connecting with students using storytelling. We heard from a panel of directors moderated by Thom Rakes from UNC-Wilmington and a panel of recruiters moderated by Nora Spencer from Lowe’s. Special thanks to these members who provided such rich content for the conference program.

None of this would have been possible without the hard work of the Conference Committee and the guidance of the Executive Board, led by NCACE President, Leslie Rand-Pickett and, of course, our sponsors. Thank you to the numerous people in these groups whose hard work created a successful conference and made 2010 the year to reconnect!
