Hi Mary and Sheila,
I just wanted to thank you both very much for this conference. The focus offered
on Strengthening Academic Leadership was simply transformational for me in my
new position as Associate Dean at York. I really felt Lillas and Linda
facilitated this wonderfully, especially given the fact they are much more
accustomed to a three-day format! The session with Dr. Marsh (a former
Yorkie!!) was most informative, and a stellar example of community-based
practice.
The collegial atmosphere of the conference was very much due to the
superb organization and hospitality you both afforded us. Many thanks to your
staff as well, Sheila. I had not been to the U of R in twenty-three years (when
I was a company member with Globe Theatre). I was struck with the beauty of the
campus, inside and outside the buildings.
My only constructive comment is reserved for me: to ensure in future that I can
commit to participation for the full duration of the event. Although prior
commitments for both Saturday and Sunday necessitated leaving before the
conclusion of the conference, it really was difficult to leave Friday evening.
A pleasure meeting you both. I hope our paths cross again soon.
