2017 Certification Results
SUE PRUETT mda 2016–2017 Certification Chair
I hope everyone had a great time this year in Daytona Beach, Fla. If you were not able to attend, hopefully you can join us next year at the same location. The venue in Daytona was perfect for our classes and trade floor – how exciting that we will be back at this location next year. Did I mention every room at the Hilton has an ocean view, which was amazing?
The Certification committee organized several events for Conference including a silent auction in the Certifica- tion booth. With the generosity of 26 artists who donated their paintings our silent auction raised $2,760 to help fund our program. Thank you all for your support. Many thanks to our 2016-2017 Certification Committee who organized the auction and several events we have at Conference each year: Marian Jackson mda, Yuko Culliney mda, Deborah
Bonnewell cda, Marie Loucks cda, Linda Sharp cda board liaison, and Miho Halsey staff liaison.
Special thanks to our 2017 Certification Judges who donate a week of their time and knowledge to help our program succeed: Cheri Rol mda, Sherry Nelson mda, Lisa Price mda, Marian Jackson mda, Yuko Culliney mda, Jean Archer mda, Helen Stadter mda, Sharon Hamilton mda, and Kay Baranowski mda.
