The HPR*TEC Core Learning Organization's quarterly meeting was held January 6-8 at the Consumer Electronics Show in in Las Vegas.

Representatives from several of the High Plains states attended the meeting that included presentations, group activities and team building.

Attendees included: Eric Feder, Michael Lowe, Stevan Kalmon, Greg Rasmussen, Dan Pullen, Brad Waldbauer, Sheila Cassidy, Al Steckelberg, Gloria Steele, Doug Adams, Marilyn Ault, Christy Blauer, Jerry Chaffin, Jayne James, Jennifer Holvoet, and Scott Finnerty.

Because the meeting was held in conjunction with the Consumer Electronics Show, HPR*TEC meeting attendees were also able to attend portions of the conference, which included keynote addresses and exhibits of up-and-coming technology products.

The focus of this quarterly meeting was to continue shared learning experiences in a project-based format. This format allowed participants to develop some new skills, expand their knowledge of new electronic technologies, and become more aware of emerging trends. Moreover, this format allowed for the creation of artifacts from their experiences which can be shared with colleagues.
