From the President

It has been quite a year for this publication. One accomplishment was updating the voting process for their many committees and interest groups, although the implementation has been difficult. They also continued the work on the updating of the Web site. Although the attendance numbers at the recent Columbus conference were not quite as high as the year before, they were not bad. This year’s Conference Planning Committee was the first to have input from the Conference Advisory Task Force, and they used their input. The ghost story teller was fun, although it will probably be decades before a Wednesday night fun event matches the interactive play of the year before. The networking luncheon was not well attended, but those who did elect to come loved it. It is possible that the availability of so many walkable restaurants was responsible for the lack of takers on the luncheon.
