Hi Amalia, You were missed at this year's conference. You also missed out having access to Sched, the virtual program book for the conference. An added bonus of this online edition is that there is the ability for attendees to participate in a group chat, which is where many posted their thanks to the conference committee, especially Anjelica and Suzi, who are truly deserving of all of the praise posted. Even more people gave shout outs on Facebook. I haven't even looked on any other platforms yet.
Don't worry, AJLers alway share their gratitude.
