AADE 14 in Orlando was exciting and we all learned so much! The road trip on the van was very long, but we all lived through it!
AADE sent us a nice care package of snacks, sunglasses, and other treats for our trip. This was much appreciated!
The Tuesday night networking reception with the other states CB’s and COI’s was so much fun! It was nice to get to meet other CDE’s. Our table looked wonderful!
Our table was very interactive. We had a map of the United States, and everyone colored in their states, as they stopped by to visit. Also, we had questions written on cards shaped like the state and everyone got to answer a question and place in our jar.
The conference had a large variety of speakers and topics. I think it had something for everyone. It was so nice to have preferred seating for the general sessions. Our Palmetto Tree scarves were a big hit! Everyone was asking us where they could get a scarf! 
Throughout the week we had the opportunity to attend various events and receptions. Erin McDermott won the bid on our donation to the AADE Foundation (SC Palmetto Tree necklace).
On Saturday our very own Erica Moore spoke on the benefits of signing up for and using MYAADE network. We were all so proud of her and the way she represented South Carolina!
This road trip was a success! Thanks UPADE for your part in helping us get there!
