The California Teacher Association Region 2 conference was held in Reno, Nevada, October 9th– 11th. Dairy Council of California was pleased to have had an exhibit table at the conference and had a chance to interact with teachers. We exhibited Friday evening and all day Saturday. There were over 700 attendees from 31 counties across California. We spoke with teachers from as far south as Kern County to as far north as Siskiyou County. It was a busy and productive conference for Dairy Council of California, where we received orders from elementary, middle and high school teachers. The most gratifying part of the conference was hearing so much positive feedback about our programs from teachers who already use them. Many took the time to come over and thank us for our excellent free resources. We look forward to attending this conference every year.
We will also be at the following upcoming conferences: The California Science Teachers Association (CSTA), the Association of Christian Schools International–North (ASCI–North) and the Association of Christian Schools International–South (ACSI–South). If you are attending any of these conferences, please stop by our booth and say hi.
