“Future’s so bright, we gotta wear shades” comes from a song made popular in 1986
and gave us all a happy, positive feeling about our futures. While there are always going to be challenges ahead of us in this industry, through teamwork, and
renewing our skills through best practice models, staying on top of current trends,
and enhancing additional skills that promote our professional development, our
futures really are so bright we have to wear shades! Learn, network, socialize and
most of all, enjoy the 2015 IL Pork Expo!”
