For one thing, we’ve gotten more surveys than usual, and the responses have been very specific in nature. Your answers are highly constructive and exactly what we need to make NFBV23 better than ever.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>While I have your attention, I do want to take ownership for a point raised multiple times in your feedback. Sitting up front, I confess I did not have a full appreciation for how loud the music was. True, I love my music loud. I mean, how else am I supposed to drown out Evelyn? <span style='font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif'>😊</span> But I apologize for having the volume so loud that it made conversation difficult, particularly before the banquet.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So please take this opportunity to add your voice to shaping next year’s convention.
