[Sigcr-l] SIG/CR Workshop 2010 - Theme Ideas

[Diane Neal]

Thanks, everyone, for the workshop ideas so far. Please keep them coming! We have some tremendous potential for a great workshop in 2010. 


Also, just FYI, I have been nominated for the open position on the SIG Cabinet Steering Committee. Wish me luck. The election will take place at the SIG Cabinet meeting during the conference.
