LOOK WHAT WE DID!
Submitted by: Amber Rasmussen AMTA South Dakota Chapter President

June 1st & 2nd, 2023 I attended a Volunteer Leadership Conference for Presidents, Education Chairs and Financial Administrators in Rosemount, IL.



Time was spent with all volunteers together reviewing overall contract data, best practices and in-depth cvent education. A lot was poured into this training to help our chapters with ease of finding future educators.
Based on our survey results and having 400 members in the State of South Dakota I am sure there are many that have taken a class with an educator they LOVE! I would love to hear from anyone who would like to see those techniques brought to SD.
I had the opportunity to talk with some other States on how they provide education as well as how often. South Dakota is a smaller state than some, per population, but I felt the same difficulties arise in all States and that is getting participation so we can continue to offer live classes vs virtual.
I made some new connections as well as caught up with others I have met at these events and at National. I can’t tell you the feeling and energy level that these 2 days gave me. I love representing South Dakota!!
