While the memories of BCA Nashville may slowly be fading away, I hope the tips and tricks you learned from the various workshops are continuing to prove useful in your day-to-day responsibilities. I also hope the new friendships you made and/or the time spent enhancing longtime relationships is something worth the experience all by itself.

After all, BCA provides one of the best networking opportunities available to Baptist communicators. The difference it makes in who we are as communicators, how we do our jobs individually and how we participate in the greater ministry of Baptists in general is something that cannot be calculated in dollars and cents.

And BCA is not just a once-a-year event. With the Web site, Facebook group and other social media connections, BCA can be a part of your ongoing professional development.

This year's officers are also committed to taking BCA to an all-new level, so be watching for upcoming announcements and additions. And be sure to circle April 6-10, 2010, on your calendar now. We want to see you in Chicago.
