Why didn't I get into my top choices?
Why didn't I get into my top choices?
Attendees don't always get their top session choices. This is because some sessions fill up very quickly, and the sign-ups for those have to be closed. Sometimes a session has low interest (less than 15 people signed up) and thus is taken off the list of offerings. Because of this, we may have to go to your last choice OR choose a session for you.
Do District staff get paid this year?
District #205 staff who attend Choose to Thrive in #205 will receive $500.
District #205 presenters will receive an additional stipend. NOTE to presenters: You are expected to attend other sessions when you are not presenting.

What should I wear?
Comfy clothes! This is different from all other conferences and events you've been to. No need to dress up. Dress in what you feel comfortable, especially if you'll be attending physical sessions where you'll be moving and growing!
NOTE: For some sessions, you are asked to bring a yoga mat (if you have one).
