A great speaker and new officers

Dr. Suzanne Candell gave great advice on how to communicate effectively.

 

 

 

NPCAN had a great turnout for Sunday’s presentation on strategic communications. We were proud to host Dr. Suzanne Candell, who spoke about how to best communicate when you disagree with someone — even when it is a family member or close friend; how to know when to engage and when to walk away; and how to ultimately make an impact with your message, both as an individual and collectively as an organization (like NPCAN). Those attended left armed with great strategies and ideas on how to make a difference.

After Dr. Candell’s presentation, the board met briefly to vote in the 2018 board of directors and officers. Your 2018 board:

Chairperson, Nicole Hvidsten; vice chairperson, Annette Millette; secretary, Ann Huseby; treasurer, Kytyn Schoenbauer; directors, Debra Pexa and Jami Lilliquist.
