“The CUMSA conference was an absolute gamechanger for me. While networking, I was able to ask many questions and I made some great contacts, too. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I was able to travel this summer to tour a couple different mail centers in my state, all because of the connections I formed at CUMSA. I was also introduced to a new vendor who we will be testing out in our mail center this year. The value of this conference was phenomenal, with most meals being included in the price. I didn’t think I would be able to attend, but was able to receive a scholarship from CUMSA. Because of the report I wrote up for my supervisor about how much value I gleaned from the conference, I know they plan to send me back next year. ” – Brittney Wood
“Attending the CUMSA Conference for the first time was an incredibly enriching experience. As a newcomer to the event, I was excited and curious about what to expect. However, from the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by both the organizers and fellow attendees, which immediately put me at ease.
The conference was exceptionally well-organized, with a wealth of knowledge, networking events, and fellowship opportunities. One of the highlights for me was the opportunity to hear from vendors and colleges facing similar situations and using familiar products. The insights and experiences they shared were invaluable and have given me a fresh perspective for our mail room operations.
The networking sessions were equally beneficial, as I was able to connect with professionals from different campuses, many of whom I hope to collaborate with in the future. Additionally, the conference provided numerous resources and materials that I found extremely useful. The exhibitors and sponsors were also very approachable and informative, offering a wealth of information about the latest trends and innovations in the mail room industry.
Overall, my experience as a first-time attendee at the CUMSA Conference was overwhelmingly positive. I left the event feeling inspired, motivated, and equipped with new knowledge and connections that will undoubtedly benefit our mail room operations. I highly recommend this conference to anyone considering attending in the future, whether you are a seasoned professional or a newcomer like myself.
Thank you to the organizers for creating such a dynamic and inclusive environment. I am already looking forward to attending next year!” – Porsha Walker
