A WONDERFUL EVENT: ToP GATHERING 2015

Earlier this month, the ToP Network held its annual conference in Aurora, Colorado. 74 people attended the event, with participants from across the United States, as well as international colleagues from Canada and Russia.

Opening Plenary Session

The theme of this year's conference was Building Together for Action. The three-day event offered a variety of engaging workshops, including techniques to grow your own small business, using ToP Methods for peace building in the Ukraine, building the network's capacity to serve public health audiences, and stories of Impact of the ToP Image Shift. Attendee Fara Taylor remarked that for her, the break out sessions were "targeted, to the point, and some of the most useful workshops I have ever experienced at the conference."​

The conference also welcomed the new ToP Network Board. New members to the Board include Chair Susan Esber, Bev Scow, Dawn Newman, Deb Burnight, and Melanie Goodman. Returning members include Treasurer Nileen Verbeten, Secretary Susan Saunder, and Barbara McKay.

Additionally, the network congratulates Terri Sue Rossi, Angie Asa-Lovstad, and Maureen Jenkins on becoming Certified ToP Facilitators.
