Explore Membership I am so grateful for the connections I made "I am so grateful for the connections I made at the last conference, and we are continuing to stay in touch through all this. It is so comforting to know that there are other directors who are facing the same challenges I am. I can't begin to tell you how helpful it has been to be able to talk with others about what we are planning, what they have planned, and what has or has not worked for them. I don't know how I would have gotten through these last few months without the support of the ELEA and the directors I have met. Thank you for everything you have done!"

The ELEA has been there for me.
