The first impression – no signage on arrival, nobody to greet the early arrivals. The initial recess for 5 minutes was appropriate, but the dinner recess went on

longer than planned. Should have declared a recess for 10 minutes. President should have welcomed guests at the start. Great educational session, which allowed us to laugh – laughter is encouragement. Table Topics had an element of surprise. TME explained well. Excellent evaluations.
