Hello, all:

I understand if no one is reading email from this address for a while, but I thought I would pass on a written compliment from a non-academic participant to the conference. It is similar to others I have heard, and I am thinking here only of community people who are not academics. I think it was clear that the academics enjoyed it, but this is a little different. It suggests that we succeeded in making the event accessible.

My contact wrote this:

I thoroughly enjoyed the conference, the speakers and came away with a better understanding of the strike and how it was formed.
