PERC executive members Cindy Phillips, Lisa Carlson and Barb Lepp also served on the organizing committee. Our treasurer Darlene Keith assisted at the registration table and member Heather Armstrong delivered two sessions at the Summit. Keynote speakers Ernest Morrell, Donalyn Miller, Kathy Gould Lundy and Deborah Ellis inspired Summit participants with their ideas to Transform Adolescent Literacy, the conference theme. Twenty-four individual sessions were presented by Manitoba literacy leaders.
