It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as your 2014 Conference Chair! I sincerely hope that you will use every opportunity while you are here to network with as many colleagues as possible and to take advantage of the dynamic presenters who have graciously agreed to share their professional expertise with you! Over the past year, our organization has been working to provide you with the best possi- ble professional development experience and we are truly excited to share the results of our efforts with you here in Boston! Over the course of the next few days, you will have the chance to connect with presenters, exhibitors and colleagues as you put togeth- er your own personal conference experience. Here is a brief summa- ry of the exciting opportunities that we have in store for you! Janel Lafond-Paquin • Visit the exhibit areas from 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Friday as well as from Rogers High School 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday to see what new materials you can Newport RI find! This is the perfect time to renew your friendships with exhibitors with whom you have made contact throughout the years and/or to begin new friendships with exhibitors you may have not seen before! • Fill your professional development coffers with as many sessions and workshops as you can! This is your chance to learn as much as possible so that you can return to your classes energized for the rest of this school year and beyond! • Come to our Awards Ceremony on Friday from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and meet those who have made a distinct contribution to the world language profession as a whole. Your pres- ence will make all the difference! • Network with as many people as possible – it’s all about sustainability of programs, prac- tices and performances! • Experience all that Boston has to offer! The area we are in is absolutely lovely and you will surely find something to pique your interest! • Participate in our post-conference webinars in order to extend your professional develop- ment in the comfort of your own home! • The Silent Auction has become a signature event for NECTFL that has attendees clustering around the tables! Come browse the items up for bid and keep your fingers crossed that you will be the last name on the bid list once the auction is closed! This year’s offerings are spectacular! • Register if you haven’t already done so for our free hands-on Sunday morning teaching labs! Space is limited so go to the 4th floor registration counters to sign up now! I would be remiss if I did not mention our Local Committee members who have so gra- ciously given of their time for both hospitality and session evaluation.
