Re: Ideas for SRA Annual Meeting Mary Watson 16 Nov 1998 15:38 EST
this sounds like a super idea. However, it might be rather daunting to add such a detailed task to a small office that is probably over-taxed as it is! How much time/effort does it take? Just curious. I really think it has great merit. Mary At 02:41 PM 11/16/98 -0500, Jennifer Morgan sent a message saying: *I know I would be interested in hearing more about it.
