Conference: Day 3
The last day of the conference wrapped up with two different sessions, comprised of six different themed talks in the morning. After another deliciously catered lunch, the remaining hours of the conference included the annual member's meeting that was welcome to all conference attendees. There, society issues were discussed, and news of future EDIS conferences was announced, including the next annual meeting which will be held in Amherst, MA. Following the completion of the member's meeting, incoming president Martha Ackmann thanked retiring president Paul Crumbley for his dedicated years of work and commitment. She then presented him with a gift: a piece of art created from Dickinson's Homestead, as a git of thanks and apprecation. The conference ended with many thanks, lots of hugs, and excitement for the next, annual Dickinson event.
