After all, this was the last day of the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) Conference and I knew people would be worn out and who wants to get up to attend an 8 AM session? Well, I was pleasantly surprised at the attendance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a good week in Anaheim (Dec.  4-7, 2019). This was my fourth presentation. Earlier in the week I had made the same presentation to the National Association of Agricultural Educators (NAAE) and had a great crowd. Dr. Wendy Warner and I also made a presentation to the NAAE titled &#8221; <em>Making the History of FFA Come Alive<\/em> .&#8221; We had people sitting on the floor for that presentation. We had a great time and I exhibited some of my FFA and NFA artifacts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the most fun (and eye-opening) presentation was to the Board of Directors of ACTE.  It was titled  &#8220;<em>Controlled Chaos: Everything You Need to Know About Parliamentary Procedure But Didn\u2019t Know to Ask<\/em>.&#8221; This was a basic workshop on Parliamentary Procedure. Toward the end of my presentation, the folks were divided into two teams and we had a short mock meeting where the teams had to conduct some basic business. You could tell who in the group of officers had backgrounds in Agricultural Education!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was expecting perhaps 5-10 people would show up for my 8 AM Saturday morning presentation titled &#8220;No Regrets: Balancing Work and Family.
