What people have to say about ACS '08

"As a HI Coach in Training - I thoroughly enjoyed experiencing the HI community of coaches first hand. Though there was a great deal of experience and wisdom in the room - everyone I met truly exhibited a beginner's mind. The willingness to support and help one another sets this community apart!"
-Kathy Bollinger, Tempe, AZ

"I walked away from ACS with even more than I had hoped for. It was a great way to reconnect with people that I already knew, meet new people, and take away tremendous learning."
-Susan Chritton, Lafayette, CA

"Stimulating and fun! I came away with ideas and new skills to implement in my own work immediately. Pam's commitment to innovation and continued support of our development as coaches is what makes Hudson a true learning community." -Jill Stryker, Vancouver, WA
