Map Results

To help promote the web site and NUTS & BOLTS, we had a map of the contiguous United States and Canada at our booth. We encouraged conference attendees to place a pin on the map to indicate where they had traveled from to attend the conference.

A total of 86 pins were inserted on the map. The first number indicates how many instructors attended the conference; the second number indicates how many inserted pins. There were also 60 Spouses, 36 Children and 1 Interpreter in attendance. Look for "The Map" again at next year's conference!
