Illinois Traffic Safety Conference - Stayin Alive

Yesterday the IPASS Committee has the opportunity to present our program to the attendees of the Illinois Traffic Safety conference. Over 400 people listened to our presentation and we met and talked to a lot of neat and interesting people.



Jamie:

The Safety Convention was something not only interesting, but also important. It reminded us that when driving it isn't only our job, as the driver to protect the safety of ourselves, but also the safety of our passengers, and other drivers too.



Eric:

I thought the conference was pretty good. It was a real honor to represent my school. All of the people that we met were very informative and listened to what we had to say. It was inspiring to see everyone so driven to get the word out and overall it was really fun. Everyone who has the chance should get involved.



Ashley:

The conference showed that wearing seat belts can save lives. I also thought that it was well organized and that the people were friendly and informative. I really enjoyed it. I also learned the right way to use a car seat and that the safest place for a baby is the back seat.



Alexis:

I really enjoyed the Illinois Traffic Safety Conference, it was cool to talk to people who were so passionate about auto safety. We got a lot of free stuff and the food was pretty good too. :)



Ashten:

I found the Traffic Safety Conference to be extremely informational and well addressed. I had the pleasure of meeting many people. Not only did I learn many new and exciting ideas for reaching out to our teens about auto safety, but I also has the chance to present our program to more than 400 people. I also want to mention a man who is very passionate about helping our young drivers, Phil Rog. He not only gave me more information , but he also opened doors for my school to possibly introduce a drug awareness program.



Kelsey:

I thought that the Traffic Safety Conference was a really great experience. All of the different people that were there to help educate others on safe driving were very interesting to talk to; and a few of them actually gave my school more opportunities to get the safe driving message across. Also at the conference I, along with Ashten, had a chance to present our safe driving video and had a chance to explain the upcoming events our school will do to help teens be safer drivers. Ashten and I also explained why our strive to get the safe driving message out to teens and young adults.
