2002 Annual Conference
Turkey Run State Park - Marshall, IN
The 6th Annual INAFSM Conference and Meeting is over and after tallying the survey results, it appears that it was a great success! The attendees seemed to benefit from the conference content. From all reports, the presentations were very professional and informative. The state park location is the "Number One" choice of those who submitted conference evaluation forms. We also heard that the time allowed for "networking" with other participants was very valuable. We strive to make the conference the best it can be for our members. And we are extremely grateful to those who submit the evaluation form after each conference. If our members don't take the time to tell us their likes and dislikes, we have no way of knowing how to make future conferences even better. For those who were unable to attend, we missed you and hope to see you next year!
