From the Day in the Life presentations, the very first Farmer of the Year Award, Speed Mentoring workshop, and the conservation tours, the 2008 Annual Training Conference was abuzz with energy and enthusiasm, to become one of the best so far. The theme of the conference, "NOPHNRCSE: 15 Years Making a Difference in Conservation", was evident in the quality of the program and the professional atmosphere throughout the week's proceedings. Congratulations to the organization's leadership and the 2008 Planning Committee for a job well done.
