She will forward the changes for web and roster update. This meeting has gone pretty well from a financial standpoint final statements are still arriving. It appears that we will be close to breaking even. Our speaker costs were more than we normally spend and we would like feedback on the value of this investment to participants. Distribution of the speaker costs over the ABCD turn-out at this meeting clearly indicates the need to assess the impact of the investment.
Feedback is encouraged for guidance in choices for future meetings.
As agreed by ABCD covered the cost of the speaker for the two hour collective seminar this morning. That contribution constituted ABCD s portion of the cost-share for this meeting. We are now being approached regarding our preparedness to do the same at the 2001 Dallas meeting. Our costs for meeting space, food and ancillary costs associated with the Retreat Day were less than Portland but our speaker costs were higher. Should we elect to keep this caliber of the retreat activity and attendance remains as it is at this meeting, we will face increases in the registration fees associated with the Retreat Day.
