This week has been more
than a little crazy with the Foundation’s National Conference just a little
more than a week away. The many details
are mounting and all of the materials needed to be shipped to the hotel this
week. And, then to top it all off, the
government shuts down.
I have read numerous
articles about how this shutdown is impacting different groups of people. I guess we are just one more casualty. Okay casualty may be too strong of word. But the shutdown is definitely impacting the
conference as well. So far I have one
speaker who cannot make it (unless the government reopens prior to the
conference) and another speaker whose Visa may or may not have been processed
prior to the shutdown. Therefore, we
must plan for ways to fill those openings just in case. So among all the normal challenges of pulling
together a conference, the government shutdown has added new challenges. No, they are not insurmountable, and surely
not as problematic as many others that have come up, but just one more thing to
tackle.
Enough said - my final
thought is this; let’s make it a great conference with or without an active
government. There is still time for you
to come to the conference. Register
