Mary and Kit respond to last conference - Kit - Loved that people brought their gifts to it and how things came together organically with hospitality and tech support and others, liked the time to connect with others with some purpose but not heavily structured, wants to get in touch with people regarding how to support growing NVC communities, wants to get word out about what we accomplished. A thousand women in Iraq is doing well and progressing. Kit will get info on this to the network and she will send a note to attendees to find out what has happened as a result of the conference.

Mary - loved connection with others while NOT working, loved space, enjoyed the work that came of it and would like to stay connected to progress on those projects, would like more focus on our purpose at next conference.

Reviewing Evaluation Forms - Lisa will evaluate them and create a synopsis for us.
