The 2006 Conference in Twin Falls was a great success, thanks to the hard work of IMTA President David French, our presenters, and our members who traveled from far and wide to attend. If you missed out, you missed a lot…
Members CAME from all over the state of Idaho, from as far away as Post Falls.
Members LEFT with giveaways, prizes, laughs, ideas, the state membership directory, and even a cookbook by Charlotte Hillam!
