==Experience==

I wasn't too impressed by the experience.

On the plus side, it was nice to see the organization’s enthusiasm for children. I can see how such a get together could fire folks up to do more good than they would have otherwise.  I enjoyed getting to know the Sagamore PTA Board.

On the weak side, I was disappointed in the lack of training.  I feel like there's quite a bit of stress for our PTA around issues that every other PTA is probably also addressing, and I was hoping a get together like this would suggest best-practices and real world, go through the motions, training, that we could take back.  There was mention that there was a lot of wisdom in the audience, but they didn't provide opportunities for attendees to share and teach one another.
