2015 Spring Conference and Hands-on Workshop

2015 National Conference in San Antonio, TX

 Picture
This year Idaho sent 6 Delegates to San Antonio on $500 grants as an appreciation for fulfilling their duties of attending candidate forums and voting for the future of AST. In total, Idaho was represented by 12 CSTs! For such as small state we are pleased with our turn out! 

We are also excited to announce our newest FAST recipient, Mona Bourbonnias. Congrats and thank you for all you do! 

Leah-Marie Guill and Monica Preciado spoke about Idaho's experiences with Webinar CEs at the SALC forum and were well received as Idaho is the FIRST state to provide CEs this way. All the pros and cons of technology were discussed.
