Subject: [BCMA Broadcast] Conference 2007 Survey - Preliminary Findings
Message-ID: <445F6D78.25586.16ABB30@localhost>
Greetings Members & Subscribers!
BCMA Council has set a May 23 deadline (midnight) for responses to
our "Coastal Conference 2007" online survey. A final decision will be
made based on survey findings SOON after the deadline for
responses.
If you have not completed the online survey, we DO need your input!
NOW you can also review the compiled, up-to-the-minute responses
by visiting the
BCMA Homepage
and clicking on the "Survey Findings"
link.
Responses are compiled automatically. You can also read the well-
considered comments submitted by your colleagues by clicking the
"View" buttons where indicated.
Please note:
One respondent lists a future CMA Conference in Victoria, BC as being
"2007". In fact, "May 2008 in Victoria" has been reserved by CMA.
Thank you!
--Jim
