2007 Conference Comments

Sherry, the week has gotten away from me.  Didn't mean to wait this long to tell you how much I enjoyed meeting you and being part of the Solutions for Assistive Technology Conference.  Your passion for your work is evident.  Everyone I met in the industry mentioned your dedication. I know the conference is a huge task, but know there are so many of us who depend on those events to stay up on things.  I admire your work and look forward to the time we can work together again!

2006 Conference Comments

Bravo, once again! What a wonderful trip and event the AT Conference was! I cannot tell you the outstanding quality of participants, and the smoothness of the entire event. You have made an incredible contribution to the State!

2005 Conference Comments

This was SUPER! Sherry - Once again, we have learned more about new products concerning assistive technology. Thank you and everyone else for working so hard to pull this conference together. We truly appreciate it.

This was one of the best conferences that I've been to. I learned a lot about assistive
Technology that I didn't know, and I was able to meet some great people in AT.

Conference 2004 Comments

Sherry,
I just wanted to drop you a little note of thanks. The conference was great and I wanted to express my appreciation to you for all your hard work to put it together. It does one good to spend time with other educators to gain support and be reminded that we are all facing the kinds of problems and situations with students. I feel that the conference also gives us an opportunity to see and experience the new technology available to our students. Again, thanks and I look forward to next year.

Conference 2003 Comments.

"Dear Sherry, I am so sorry that I had to leave early yesterday and that I was not able to attend last night. It was really my loss. I did want you to know how much I enjoyed being there and wished that I could have spent more time with all of those wonderful people. I have been to many conferences-speech and academic, and I have never encountered more personable, knowledgeable people."

"Sherry, just a short note to say thank you for the conference. This conference was excellent. The presenters were excellent. They were funny and very informative. That's what makes a good conference. They were also so approachable. If there were questions it was easy to ask. You really out did your self. Looking forward to next year."

Conference 2002 Comments.

Dear Sherry,
I really enjoyed the conference and am looking forward to attending next year. It was good to see you and to be able to meet some of the vendors. I enjoyed all of the hands-on workshops and am looking forward to getting the software we ordered installed on our new computers.
