This past April the AIS executive board along with Professor Carey Cole, went to Dallas, TX to visit the University of Texas. They started the conference off with an opening dinner and line dancing at South Fork Ranch. The next day of the conference they listened to the key note speaker Russ Finney, visited Essilor Lense’s factory, Statefarm’s IS department and Toyota, with several leadership workshops afterwards. In their free time they explored Dallas, including visiting John F. Kennedy’s memorial and Dallas’ Art District.
