Re: Question regarding preferences for hotel negotiations

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

I like the lower room night fee, as long as it doesn't put us at
substantially greater risk.  I think the more people who can attend, the
greater benefit the convention is to our members.  And to me, that's the
bottom line.  How can we best serve the greatest number of members?
