Re: [AGA-mcm] feedback form

["Karen Randall" <krandall@rdrcpa.biz>]

At a lot of the professional conferences I go to, you don't get your
attendance certificate until/unless you fill in a feedback sheet for each
presenter.  Of course, we can't hold that over people, but we COULD think of
some token of appreciation that we could hand people who filled out a
feedback sheet (which we conveniently placed in their registration packet
;-) and handed it in at the AGA table before they left.  Could be a
conference pin, or pen, or some other small, inexpensive item.
