[IL-Talk] The 2019 National Convention

[davant1958 at gmail.com]

Dear Robert,
I am glad that the national convention was a great experience for you. I
want to add that the state convention can serve a similar purpose. There is
a chance to meet other people across our state, not just those in your
chapter. It is an opportunity to challenge oneself, and get out of your
daily routine. The convention has great speakers as well. This year's state
convention is in Springfield from October 18-20. I hope to see all of you
there.

Good morning Federation

I wanted to say that I'm glad that I  went to the  2019  convention this
year in Las Vegas. I hadn't been to a National Convention in  who knows
maybe over 20 years.  I really found the experience to be beneficial to me
and I learned a lot.  And I got to see people that I hadn't seen in a long
long long long time.  I learned a lot from the sessions. I got to as many of
the division seminars as I could.  Sessions in the seminars were beneficial
to me.  I found that getting  outside of myself and visiting another city
and a huge enormous Hotel improve confidence in me.  I found that  I
benefited by  the trip just because it felt good for me.  And so I encourage
anyone that hasn't been to a National Convention a long time or never to go
to one. Also for those of you that  are on this list  come to a chapter
meeting.  Coming to a chapter meeting will benefit you  because you will
gain information  about what's going on out in the world. What you can
contribute  how you can learn to speak up and make our organization
stronger.  So once again I'm really glad that I went to the convention this
year. people.

Sincerely
Robert A. Hansen
