There's an agenda on CC, just click on Nat. Conf...then you can click on each day & it tells you when everything's going on.
You'll see all kinds of people--which is what's neat about conference! You'll see some very casual, others in khakis, capris, or dresses. I wore the same thing to the evening events as what I wore in the day. Our exec. dinner had a luau theme so that was very casual--some wore swimsuits
Just ask your director, and she'll tell you what the theme of you dinner is. Speaking of which, I need to find out mine for this year!Frequently Asked Questions
