Although I have been a NACE member for a number of years, a Community College Career Center Director doesn't often have the budget to attend conferences out of state. Career Services was not my career of choice; it found me and wouldn't let go despite many interviews and job offers in other fields. Perhaps it was because I didn't consciously choose this path but I never felt like part of a profession. I have always been excited about what I do but a benefit from my new institution is certainly attendance at the NACE Conference. Sitting in the hall with approximately 1900 others, I felt differently about myself and my career. If I get nothing else from this conference (highly unlikely) I will have that new feeling. I am thankful to Iowa State University and my Director, Steve Kravinsky, who believe in professional development.
To all those who have never attended a NACE national conference, who don't know what you're missing.

So, it was a long day after a flight cancellation, I meant to say YOU "don't know what your missing".
