The Scott Family May 2007
The ADTSEA organization has not only assisted me in my professional life as a Driver Educator, but has also been an integral part in my family life as well. My children grew up attending ADTSEA National Conferences as our yearly family vacations. The role models and love that the members shared with my family left a most positive impression in our lives. When my wife died in 2008, the Fort Worth Conference was a like a family reunion for my children (with special thanks to the Lee Family of Minnesota). The warmth that we received rekindled many fond memories for the Scott Family.
This is why I believe that this is an important position with a most valuable organization.
