Comment by Gay Stephenson on October 25, 2009 at 7:54pm - I'm joining to give you moral support Beth! Although I'm not personally a SEAC member, I think it's a great idea for SEAC members to "meet-up" at the conference on Nov. 7th. I'm just thinking of how we could pass the word around... I'm not sure if our lists are clever enough to identify SEAC members, but ideally I would send this invitation out to them. If you have email addresses for other members in other boards, you can invite them by clicking on "Invite More" on this page and typing in their email address, or choosing them from your address book. Let me know if you have other ideas that we could help with!
