Going to Conference when one is retired is an odd feeling. For the first time no school I was entered by my name, just a blank space. I'm going to recommend they put at least the address or status.
But conference attendance is a loose end as committee work goes beyond employment. I will always have fond memories of past conferences and look forward to adding this one to those memories.
I really enjoyed my specialty section of the national conference, but also always learned the most at the "local" and state conferences. Only once did I give a presentation--it's a lot of work. Once retired, I was really out of the loop within 2-3 years and no longer attend. I hope you're enjoying retirement.
