Angie Cain and Brittney Glaze first met when they roomed together at the 2010 Best Buddies International Leadership Conference in Bloomington, Indiana. The ladies hit it off and developed a really great friendship in a short amount of time! A friendship so great that they requested to room together again at this year's conference. Brittney discusses her Leadership Conference memories that she shared with Angie:
"The first summer that I spent with Angie at LC was beyond amazing. I knew after the first day I spent with Angie that she and I had a very special friendship forming. We spent nights dancing to her iPod, talking about our families, singing karaoke like our lives depended on it, and sharing secrets. By the end of the weekend, it was clear that Angie and I had found an amazing bond that I am so grateful for! I didn’t want to return to LC with any other roommate but Angie!

Angie and I shared many great moments throughout the weekend. The greatest thing about Angie is her compassion for those around her. Whether it was her texts throughout the day, her compliments, her encouragement, or her genuine smile, I knew that she was truly happy to be spending the weekend with me. I wanted to make sure that she knew how happy I was to be spending the weekend with her as well. One evening, karaoke night to be exact, Angie and I didn’t get the chance to share our great singing skills. We were both a little bummed about this, so after we returned to our room, I got out my hairbrush and handed it to Angie. She knew exactly what to do, and immediately turned on her iPod to her favorite song. A couple other girls came in to join us, and there we were, in our PJ’s, swaying back and forth as Angie rocked out to “I Got Friends in Low Places.” Seeing the happiness on her face that night meant the world to me!"
