[blindlaw] Re Research Technology - thank you

[ray wayne]

It was not recorded. We have not, to my recollection, recorded our annual meetings either, though our Mock Trials are available on CD. Call me a stick in the mud, but I think these things need to be interactive. That's not to say we wouldn't record the meetings in the future, but that's up to our Board to decide. 

I don't know your situation, but I think you should think seriously about coming to convention. You can listen to the presidential report and the banquet address online, but you can't get the interpersonal interaction unless you are there! 

Ray Wayne
