Directors Summer Institute on June 25, 2014 at Newton White Mansion

Thank you for making our second annual Director’s Institute a success! The Newton White Mansion set the ambiance for a beautiful day filled with relevant information, networking and most importantly laughter. We hope that you left feeling rejuvenated and prepared to implement some great new ideas.

We are grateful for the expertise provided by our presenter and panelists. Special thanks to Gigi Schweikert and panelists Pamela Green, Dr. Francine Favretto and Sheila Maness for sharing their wisdom. We’ve included pictures below and yes, Gigi perused wallets and ordered the audience to get on their cell phones! If you didn’t have the opportunity to purchase any of her published works but are interested, please visit her website:www.gigischweikert.com for more information.


See you next year!
