A longtime dream for NGPF has been to leverage some of the facilitator capacity among amazing NGPF teachers to reach more external conferences. In 2023, we embarked on this journey and asked 39 NGPF External Conference REPs (representatives) to keep us in mind when facilitating at a conference. We are SO thankful that there were 39 presentations in 2023 across the country thanks to these REPs. With their help, an additional 767 teachers received NGPF professional development!  

Please join us in thanking these wonderful teachers for their efforts!

Looking ahead in 2024, NGPF hopes to continue with the NGPF External Conference REP program. While we are not actively seeking out more REPs, we are certainly open to an active NGPF teacher wanting to reach out to us about a conference where they’d like to facilitate an NGPF session. Please email chris@ngpf.org for more information.
