A real shout-out is owed to Rachel Kamin and Marcie Eskin, the local Chairs of the Chicago conference, who have been working so hard, day and night, to create a fabulous meeting. As the past chair of the conference, I know how hard it is to do, and with the help of a small committee in Chicago, and the national team, these two women have put the lion's share of work into this. So bravo and yasher koach to Rachel and Marcie, to get the recognition that they deserve.
