A FEW WORDS FROM OUR 2023 ATTENDEES:

"The most valuable thing was everything! The education aspect was extremely valuable. Being around other like-minded individuals with the same goals for our loved ones with Ds was encouraging and being with everyone with Ds was inspirational!"

"The community and networking -- the amazing people from all over the country were so accepting and inviting."

"The board health sessions were so beneficial!"

"I had a ton of great takeaways and tangible items that I can put into action right away. I also find a lot of value in meeting and discussing among peers."
