The IECA conference in Ohio was the best one that I have ever attended, for several reasons: a chance to co-mingle with colleges, schools, therapeutic , wilderness, residential treatment programs, as well as vendors, LD schools, and post-secondary and summer programs; planning carefully before leaving, I was able to attend every session and invitation I wished to; the weather smiled and the Ohio Riverboat outing was splendid for a desert rat; and lastly, dining and accommodations were first rate. I plan to attend the Dallas conference, Nov 2011, and promote the meetings of our Affinity groups , Over the Rainbow for GLBT, and Under the Radar, for under-served students at the Philadelphia IECA May 2011.
