“My first POD Network Conference introduced me to a whole new type of convention: one where workshops were truly practical, participants were just as important as presenters, an atmosphere of openness and warmth underscored a real dedication to teaching, and strangers quickly became colleague and friends.”

“I have participated in every Annual POD Network Conference since 1976, save one. It is the only professional meeting I attend primarily for self-renewal. It always feels good.”

“The POD Network helped me enormously even before I joined. I received information, encouragement, referrals, and many other kinds of assistance from 100% of the members I contacted. Far and away the most enriching and supportive professional organization I’ve belonged to.”
