  • “The MARTI conference was one of the best I’ve been to in a long time! There was a variety of topics presented offering lots of choices. The presenters were knowledgeable, prepared, and engaging. This was a wonderful, fulfilling experience that I would recommend to anyone. I would definitely return, and encourage other providers, counselors, teachers, etc. to attend as well.” 
    —Sue, Home Visitation Program Counselor
