I was a then full-time Art Director for a good-sized church in Huntington Beach, CA when I was asked to be on the Planning Committee for a first time, on-campus Women's Conference. Before I said yes, I had to make sure they understood that I'm very into details. We started planning a good 6 months out with the team, however, since I worked 2 offices over from the Women's Director, we basically started the day after the previous year's retreat.
