[Sigkm-l] SIG Officers and Correction

[Deborah Swain]

SIG Friends:
I had a finger flub/typo yesterday. Anne Rogers has a great idea about a 
high tech presentation with interesting demos and designs (#2). Her correct 
email, however, is anne_rogers at cargill.com. I know she would like to hear 
from you. Also special thanks to Anne for taking on the job of keeping our 
ListServ going. Thank you, Anne. And thanks to everyone who agreed to be a 
SIG officer. Don't hesitate to let me know if YOU want to be an officer!

companies are using KM techniques to manage these creative processes and may
