If you will be attending any of the workshops or conferences coming up please consider sending us a report or comments. We also invite you to email us any suggestions for articles, links, or news items to include in forthcoming issues. Thanks for your support. We are so used to exchanging ideas via the listservs that the idea of using a message board may take a while to catch on. If you think about it there are many advantages of a forum.
Postings are permanent, organized by topic, and easily accessible.
