The 2010 Region 3 Workshop was a resounding success!!! Thanks to our presenters, our Keynote Steve Watts, the workshop planning committee, and everyone who attended. This year 129 interpreters enjoyed choosing between 28 excellent presentations, attending one of three phenomenal offsites, socializing at a variety of evening events, and exploring the wonderful sights and sounds of Asheville and Western North Carolina.

Congratulations to our award winners:

Mike Adams - Outstanding Service to Region 3

Jason Chadwell - Outstanding Interpreter

Katie Hicks - Outstanding New Interpreter

This year, four lucky individuals attended the workshop at no cost (registration and lodging provided) due to Region 3's scholarship fund raising efforts. This year's silent and live auction netted over $2,300, meaning we will once again be able to offer scholarships to new interpreters next year. A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who donated and bid on items this year.

This year's committee went to great strides to reduce waste. All evaluations were done online, as well as all presentations were made available to participants via a sharepoint site (no paper handouts or copies). Additionally, all registration was done online, name tags were recycled from last years workshop, and all socials were within walking distance of the hotel. We hope everyone found these changes to be great improvements.

Don't Miss the 2011 NAI Region 3 Workshop - Jekyll Island, Georgia's Jewel

On Jekyll Island, glorious natural beauty holds special rewards for the senses.      Between Savannah GA and Jacksonville FL and just minutes off I-95, the island features ancient wonders in harmony with modern amenities. By law, 65% of the Island, owned by the State since 1947, will remain undeveloped. Across a six-mile, marsh-hemmed causeway, you'll arrive to the many-faceted treasures and pleasures of Georgia's fabled coast. Explore miles of barrier island beaches, dunes, and woodlands, discover an enchanting riverfront National Historic Landmark District, and check out various special events, shopping, dining, and water  adventures. Accommodations available for every taste and tempo, from historic    hotels and beach resorts to rental cottages and campsites.

 

Beginning in 1886 the Island was the exclusive domain of the renowned Jekyll Island Club - the winter retreat for America's most elite families. Today, the Jekyll Island Club National Historic Landmark District is a 240-acre, riverfront compound and one of the largest, ongoing   restoration projects in the southeastern United States.
