I would also like to know if these seminars will be recorded and archived so that for those who cant make the meeting dates can at least hear the information being presented at both of these seminars. I would truly appreciate it if the seminars could be recorded and archived for later listening since I wont be able to attend the seminars due to the fact that I will be at school during those dates and times. Thank you .
