On behalf of the executive board and the conference planning committee, thank you for being a part of what annually connects us to our mission and each other. Because of you and the work we do together, all students will have an opportunity to attend college. It is because of you that an individual like me had a chance to live a dream and for this I can’t say thank you enough. This year’s conference is packed with phenomenal speakers, informative sessions, and outstanding receptions. Below are a few highlights of this year’s conference. • Featured speakers who provide models and inspiration on going beyond limits • 65 sessions that connect professionals on ways of making an impact through college admission counseling and models of successful leadership • More than 20 exhibitors to showcase how they can support each institution’s educational impact • Beer & Wine Tasting that will benefit Project Reach and provide an opportunity to mingle with colleagues • The Annual Membership meeting on Thursday where you have the opportunity to share your opinion and vote in regard to the future of IACAC • And much more... I also want to thank our sponsors and advertisers. Your support allows IACAC to be a partner with you and expand our educational impact through our many programs. Finally, I would like to give a big shout out to this year’s Annual Conference Committee. This conference was made possible through the endless hours of work, dedication, and passion of the conference committee. It is through their leadership we all have a chance to leave this year’s conference with a vision to go Beyond Limits and Unleash Opportunities . Please take a moment to meet them and say a personal thank you. As mentioned in my President-Elect speech last year, I want to say thank you to IACAC and all who have encouraged and inspired me in my educational pursuits. I believe we are part of the greatest profession in the world. I believe I’m living a dream made possible by the power of extraordinary people who have impacted my life. I hope you leave this year’s conference with a vision to go Beyond Limits and Unleash Opportunities within our educational profession, our colleagues, and most importantly, with our students.
