I have never even met my director, the person who recruited me quit several years ago so I reverted to her director, who lost directorship and basically quit last year and I reverted to her director and we move around a lot so I have never really been with my own cluster. It's been very frustrating. I did ask my director. I emailed her and told her I was going to conference and it took her several weeks to send me any type of response, which consisted of she isn't going this year and forwarded me an email from some other people that she doesn't even know that are looking to fill rooms and they haven't answered my emails.
My husband and I considered all of us going together and making it a family vacation but we just can't afford that right now.
