Triium Update - May 2006
Director's Message
I would like to thank the participants, vendors and sponsors that made our 1st annual Triium's "Spring Break" conference a success. We have heard positive feedback from the participants who attended and that they enjoyed the useful educational take-aways which they can implement in their practice. Our opening keynote speaker delivered a lively and interactive presentation where we all learned what our personality color is, (I'm green) and how to effectively interact with other personality types. We are looking forward to next year's conference along with more participants and vendors attending.
