More than 200 youth workers, managers and stakeholders turned out this year for the Annual Quality Conference held at the Eagan Community Center last Friday. The opening session kicked off the day's activities with an election-themed campaign for youth shown in the photo below. If you attended, go to our Facebook page and let us know what you enjoyed the most about the conference.

Kim Sabo Flores spoke to a full house last week when she delivered the Howland Symposium, Transforming Youth-Adult Relationships through Research and Evaluation, describing how youth can be active partners in research and evaluation efforts.
