Hi, Karen,
We met at the NMRT Writers’ dinner, MW2005, Boston. I’m not able to attend Annual this year due to coursework. I am curious to know if the content from your Monday morning presentation will be available at some point. We’re interested in doing this at my place of employment.
Thanks.
Mandy
I’ll check–I agree, this would be a great web program!
You might also consider taking students from the NMRT Students Reception to the 3M/NMRT Social which is also at the Sheraton in Grand Ballroom C. It’s from 7:30 to 11:00 … stop in for a quick bite …
Hmmmm… it’s actually between taking a cab to the GLBTRT social (something which kinda irritates me that I have to do, but I try hard to make those events) or hanging around and doing a fancy vendor’s cocktail party…
