They developed the menu, prepared the food and served the guests in the BOCES 2 Professional Development Center.

Attendees included superintendents, board members and administrators from all nine BOCES 2 component school districts. The event included charcuterie boards, a full buffet and desert, they executed everything beautifully. Students from Hospitality and Applied Skills contributed to the event by creating the napkin holders by hand. Following dinner, students working the event as well as criminal justice and personal services students had the chance to introduce themselves, get to know their district leaders and gather for photos.

The last in-person annual meeting was in 2019, making this meeting extra special and a first-time experience for many in attendance.
