Why do people keep coming back to Vision 20/20’s CRR Symposiums?

I’d love to tell you why I wanted to come back! I have a passion for CRR. I truly believe that there is so much that we can do to improve people’s lives, given the right resources. This conference is one of those resources. I loved getting to hear what worked for others and what didn’t. Being around so many other people with the same fire for CRR, and networking with them, made me come back with an even stronger desire to better my community’s safety through new CRR techniques I learned at the Vision 20/20 Symposium.

S7 will be my third and I couldn’t be more excited about coming together with like minded passionate CRR professionals from around the country. I left S6 energized and inspired to take what I learned through the presentations and seminars back to my community and look forward to the same again at S7.  The symposium is an opportunity to to share ideas and listen to colleagues experiences so that I become a better CRR advocate.
