Dear Conference attendees,
After more than a year of planning, Conference has come and passed, bringing together individuals from across the country to enjoy both the city and one another. We are grateful for all who traveled from near and far to enjoy the weekend's activities. Without you, this event would not have succeeded.
We hope Conference has refreshed your desire to study and understand public relations ? and that you feel ?Driven to Distinction.? While you may not remember all the information you learned, please maintain the relationships you've forged.
You will be receiving a short survey regarding your Conference experience within the next few weeks. We appreciate your feedback, which will help with the planning of the 2009 Conference.
We sincerely thank you for participating in National Conference and hope to see you next year in San Diego.
Warmest wishes,
