What our board did there:
​
Our board traveled to Fort Collins to give a presentation and use the annual conference as a way to premiere our board and open the discussion on how we can improve on gifted education from the student perspective. We shared our ideas in a presentation and breakout sessions, networked, and got a baseline idea about what we can accomplish as a student board. We also provided our attedees with a handout outlining some of our ideas. That handout is linked for you below.
