i've been told that it is often useful to have a token of
the money that was spent. and for some, the hardcopy proceedings
filled the bill nicely. The CD, while not quite the same impact
for mgmt, does provide a tangible token of participation.
Remove that, and the question might be asked? "What do we get for
our money?" more often.
