2011 NCDTSEA Conference recap

 

It was great to see everyone. As stated at the conference, we (NC Driver Education) were in the state-budget legislators "cross hairs" due to budget shortfalls. However, we are currently optimistic that funding will continue for the next couple of years. Stay focused on the legislative calendar to keep abreast of decisions being made about your future and the safety of our teens.

There were also some great presentations and fellowship. If you missed it, you missed a truely good conference. Make plans to be there next year! Information will be up soon on the location.
