On Wednesday, the NCLA Team met in Greenville, South Carolina, for our final on-site planning meeting before the FOCUS conference next month. Everyone has been working hard and came prepared. We all drove away with more assignments as we hope to continue the expected excellence associated with the FOCUS conference. For me personally, FOCUS is a place where I see old friends and always make new ones. I receive encouragement, ideas and inspiration, and I walk away challenged to do things better than I did the year before. For these reasons and others, I can’t wait to get there! What part of FOCUS is your favorite?
