Sandy,
Pardon me for jumping in. I've been following this thread with great
interest .... why don't we organize a time on 2 June for all members at the
conference to confront these executives. Perhaps, before or after the APG
Luncheon.(?) If they see a group, they'll take things more seriously than a
number of individuals approaching them separately. I think it would
definitely make an impression on them.
Just a thought,
