Dear Board Members,

As you look at the Affiliate Annual Conference Survey results in zoomerang, you may also find it helpful to look at the attached survey questions document and the excel spreadsheet where I grouped information under topic tabs labeled: Council Contact Information; 2010 and 2011 Conferences; Conference Planning; Proposals and Presenters; Conference Fees; and Exhibitors and Additional Support.

Please don't hesitate to be in touch with any questions.
