Greetings Sistahs,

The conference was truly wonderful.  Your positive energy radiated through out Atlanta, GA, and the hotel staff expressed how much they enjoyed and learned by working with us.  In fact one of the staff persons decided there that she wanted to become a midwife and was introduced to Tre'Suer Felton, GA State Rep. and Chapter President, so that she can become involved in their chapter.   We had over 150 women and some men in attendance, not including the infants, toddlers, young children and teens. We had a 48-hour intense Pampering Room and provided free pampering for the pregnant women who came in on Saturday morning. It was one of our most successful conferences, though we say that every year, this was indeed a year of growth. Ninety-seven percent of the over all conference evaluations scored excellent, and  the remaining three percent scored good.  This was our first year out of Oregon, and in a hotel for the entire conference, also our first year having CEU's from both ACNM and MEAC, again a special shout out to Sarahn Henderson, GA. Conference Coordinator and the ICTC GA Chapter, for this important addition to the conference caliber.   We had some awesome conference bags donated by In Black Print, and a historical Conference Booklet with pictures of our Grand Midwives Graduating Class for the cover, a true keepsake, and our vendors and exhibitors really reflected what the conference theme was about.
