[Chapters-l] '05 Leadership Development Program on the web

[Richard Hill]

APOLOGIES.  Copy below should have read that the moderator is Penny
O'Connor, Cleveland Public Library.  I'd like to blame that on Microsoft,
but I am afraid the error was between the brain and the keyboard.  Dick

We have mounted the CD of the 2005 Leadership Development Program on the
web.

There are links from the Leadership page AND from the SIG/Chapters page.

http://www.asis.org/leadershipcommittee.html or
http://www.asis.org/sigschapters.html

My experience is that this should be listened to with external speakers.
Sound quality is good, but volume is low (at least on my laptop.  I had no
problem, however, with external speakers.  I had to use IE to view as I have
no add-ons in Firefox.
