What can you do?
For those who attended the 2008 AAM conference in Denver, look over your notes and think back for a moment. Send me your comments as to what were the outstanding topics or individual speakers that you saw. What were the issues that you would like to see addressed again, in greater detail, or perhaps differently? Even if you didn't attend, take a moment to review the same questions: what information or topics need to be explored in a forum where so many diverse associates gather? What should we, as a committee, be looking at as our important, central concerns?

DEADLINE FOR Media&Technology ENDORSEMENT is July 11, 2008.

Again, thanks to you all for being a part of this committee. I look forward to our further conversations.

My best,
