Here is what organizer's had to say about the 2009 Buddy Walk® Conference:

"The excitement across the country was encouraging. I love that so many of us are using our creativity in many ways for the same cause."

"Having representatives from different groups present their success stories is a crucial part of the sessions. It gives others a chance to see what works, what doesn't work and how other groups achieve success."

"What a great meeting of the minds!!! Thank you so much for your continuous support at the NDSS office!"
