You echoed my thoughts Mike. For 2007, someone else will need to step up to the plate. My schedule has changed and I won't be able to contribute the same way next year - and maybe not at all. From conversation with some other planners this year, I think this situation is similar for them as well. So we need a new batch of leaders and/or enthusiasts to make this happen. I can see a couple in the crowd, the question is if they will do the job, and if they will have to do it alone.
