Denver, Colorado—known as the Mile High City—so much to see, so much to do. I, unfortunately, didn’t get to explore much of the beauty of Denver because the altitude got the best of me, BUT that didn’t stop me from enjoying every minute of the NCBC Conference. One of my favorite parts of the conference is the opportunity to network and mingle with Bankruptcy clerks from across the country. This year, I finally had the chance to meet and speak with Ms. Mona Sparks, Chief Deputy from Kentucky Eastern Bankruptcy Court, and Chair of the Awards and Scholarships Committee. After all these years of just communicating via email, I finally met her in person! Yay!
I was blown away by the keynote speaker, Craig Zablocki. He was fantastic! His topics were enlightening and fun. He made me realize a few things about myself and about conquering some of my fears. As an MSU student, I also enjoyed the courses that were offered this year, particularly “Human Resources Management,” taught by Professor Theodore H. Curry, II. He was amazing! I also learned a lot from the two breakout sessions I signed up for: “Don’t Get Knocked off your Square: How to Deal with Challenging aka ‘Difficult’ People” and “Social Media in the Courts.” I can definitely apply what I learned, not only professionally, but also in my personal life. The peer-to-peer lunch was nice because I was able to meet people that have the same job duties as I do and I was able to pick up a few tips and best practices from them on how to make my job easier.
I would like to thank the NCBC once again for giving me this wonderful opportunity, and I encourage my fellow NCBC members to take advantage of all the wonderful opportunities that the NCBC and MSU have to offer!
