A great BIG THANK YOU to all chapter representatives who participated in the 2009 Chapters Leadership Conference at the National Convention in Baltimore. As well as a gracious thank you to George Leveille (Adirondack Chapter) who chaired the Chapter Leadership Conference Committee. The surveys reflected an overwhelming success! There were about 80 people present with 53 US Lacrosse Chapters represented including our two newest chapters, West Virginia and Southwest Virginia! We also had Jennifer Allen as our moderator, a morning presentation from our US Lacrosse Board of Directors Chair, Marti Fessenden, plus 7 volunteer presentations combined with 11 US Lacrosse staff presentations. That is a total of 100 individuals who participated in some capacity with this event. Outstanding job by everyone!
