While the IAAP Convention will be underway this time next week... I can't help but reflect on the perspective after attending several.
First year- I was exhausted... all that talking, meeting hundreds of peers, attending workshops... the socials etc. too darn much.
Last year- A bit more focused. Really pared down to what I had to attend and took much better care of myself. It is so easy to go, go and go some more at this event. So much to cram in.
This year.. I'm heading to convention a day earlier.. I might even get to see the city I'm visiting! I'm staying one day later.. I have fewer courses. I've scheduled my networking with friends outside of my division so our socializing won't be crammed in..last minute. And, the business sessions will be so important!
Please take a few minutes to go to the IAAP Headquarters Main page. Login under Members Place. You'll note several highlighted links to important dates and documents. Please take a few minutes to review and read the proposed by-law changes AND the proposed new rules for running for International Board of Directors. It is important to be informed.
As mentioned, I will try to blog from the convention. It ought to be interesting!

I agree that it is so easy to overdo! I have been putting in my schedule on my calendar and am wondering where my free time went!
I look forward to seeing you there! The CWM Division is also blogging and I have at least two other divisions in the NW District who have started blogs for the convention.
