Nebraska Educational Office Professionals Association

2009 Spring Conference

	On Friday, April 17, 2009, the NEOPA Spring Conference was held at Southeast Community College's Continuing Education Center in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Conference was hosted by UNOPA and the theme was "Make a Ripple, Make a Wave, Let Your Talents Shine Through".
Our morning keynote speaker was Kris Thaller, Certified Life Coach. Kris spoke to the group about knowing your playing field as well as your purpose and how to apply it professionally and personally.
	At each of our spring conferences, we install our elected officers for the upcoming year. Pictured here are the NEOPA officers for 2009-2010. Linda Teach stepped in for the absent Kimberly Bates as NEOPA's treasurer. The installation is a tradition that helps instill a sense of pride in membership and fellowship with our friends from across the state.
Each July the newly elected officers and Board begin their year of service. Personal and professional growth is the result of service to our fellow office staff. Life-long friendships also result from these relationships. In this picture is NEOPA's 2009-2010 President, Carol Reed.
	At the General Meeting, the PSP recipients for the past year were announced and presented their plaques. Pictured here are the PSP recipients for the past year that were in attendance at the Conference.
At the Conference, many of NEOPA's Past President's had the chance to get together and reminice. Pictured here are 9 of NEOPA's Past President's.

Did we mention friends and fun - a winning combination!
