I too want to thank Chris and all NAIS attendees for bringing the conference
to the rest of us. I need another week to catch up on all the posts. (Chris
- the blog has been great). What has really impressed me this year is
thinking how far NAIS (and Pat Bassett) has come in 2 or 3 years. It wasn't
too long ago that we were wondering why Pat wasn't blogging and now look at
the statements coming from him. I think it's a great step.
Thanks again to all of you who attended and live blogged and twitterer with
#naisac10 - your presence is appreciated and I know you are part of the push
to keep NAIS moving in the right direction.
We still have a ways to go - but at least we are feeling some motion,
