The participants agreed that the day was a great way to brainstorm ideas and get inspired.\u00a0 Those of us attending had such a good experience that Susan Thrower suggested starting a regional group to meet to discuss current scholarship in progress.\u00a0 Please let Susan or me know if you\u2019re interested.<\/p>\n
