Binion,
I would like to participate. Since I can't go to the national STC Conference
(only 3 could go--and we are bringing a member over from India to attend
the conference) maybe I can go to the regional conference. Please keep me
posted on what is planned. I was a judge this year, my first, and I worked
really hard to do a fair job of it. Also, I took inputs from my co-workers
to get other opinions.
Regards,
