Today (March 20, 2009) marks the 2nd birthday of the CFA New Bee Program. The first class was taught on this date as an experiment to see if the idea of a class just for new exhibitors was even feasible, and what it might include. From there, it evolved into a website and later became part of CFA's Mentor Program.
Looking back on the program, its members have taught me as much as I taught them. And you know, that's usually the way that things are in life - you're both teacher and student, the lesson and the learner. Knowledge has a way of flowing around and around. When it stops doing
that, it's often the result of a closed mind or attitude.
So, here's to all of our New Bees and to the New Bees yet to come! |
