Many of us are still riding high on the good feelings from NERSC, 2010 – our professional conference held in Mystic, CT.  As always, the ‘vibe’ at NERSC was exciting, upbeat and full of good energy.  Over 300 attendees learned new skills and gained new tools to employ as we go about the business of working with residents in affordable housing.  Feedback from the conference evaluations was generally excellent.  A few comments from this year’s conference attendees:

›       This was my first conference and I found every aspect to be thorough, well thought out and  very informative.  Thank you.

›       Thank you for another great conference.  This was a great experience in meeting new people and learning new things.  The workshops were all excellent.

›       This year’s conference was extremely well organized and the hotel space was great!  We were not crowded in the ballroom which was a first!

›       Excellent quality of workshops—good mix.  Nice touches—flower pots, chocolate pops.

›       Always a good conference.  I learn and enjoy every year.

›       Great job!  Been to all 12!!  Looking forward to #13!

›       Had a wonderful time!  See you next year.

Regarding the written evaluations, there were also many good suggestions for how to improve on the NERSC Conference.  The Planning Committee and Board of Directors will review these carefully and make every effort to respond by ‘tweaking’ things to address your needs and suggestions, as we plan NERSC 2011.

I, personally, want to thank Andrea Baranyai and her spectacular staff, for their expert planning and implementation of this year’s conference.  I also want to thank the CT Co-chairs, Conference Planning Committee and Board of Directors for their hard work throughout the year, and also for their kind words and tributes to me, as the President of NERSC for the past 2 years.  I feel humbled as I step down from the presidency and return to serve as an at-large member of the NERSC Board.  I also congratulate Tom Stokes of Beacon Communities, who was elected as our next NERSC President and will take the reins of NERSC, as of July 1, 2010.  We can’t wait to begin planning next year’s NERSC Conference this month.

Thank you, everyone for your hard work and dedication to the profession of Resident Service Coordination.  Have a great summer!
