Colleen,

Thanks, all of this is great information. Suggestions received at this late have a small chance of being included for this year. This is understandable, and maybe we can have a deadline for 2014 convention suggestions. This should include a contact persons information, with all that Eric does someone should step up to the plate on this item, smiles. Does the affiliateprovide payment for speakers, or if they travel for presentations who covers their expenses.
