The 2008 conference was held in Myrtle Beach, SC, from Nov. 7-9, 2008.  38 couples from Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Kentucky along with numerous sponsors attended the meeting.  The couples heard presentations from several different co-ops including; Farm Credit Service, South Carolina Electric Membership Co-op, Southern States, and Dairy Farmers of America.  

The weekend started at the registration desk where each couple received their information about the weekend.   Friday night started with a wonderful seafood buffet dinner and then some get acquainted games.  Saturday morning was spent learning about the basics of a cooperative and then hearing from the various co-ops who were there.  Saturday afternoon allowed some free time for the attendees to see the local sights.   Sunday morning started with a devotion then the couples were asked to get into groups and make decisions much like a real Board of Directors would have to do on a Board Stumper they were given the previous day.  Evaluations, door prizes, and a closing pictorial presentation finished up the event.  From all indications, the event was enjoyed by all who attended.
