Sallie Taylor

This was voted by members and attendees as an extremely successful event and the credit for organising the symposium program goes to Deane McCraith, who spent many days organising the smooth running of this program. Sallie Taylor, ACN Vice President did a wonderful job organising this symposium and, at times, had great difficulty pulling together all the necessary components to make this symposium a success. Some wonderful and very funny stories were shared during these hectic times in St Louis. Thank you Sallie for doing such a fabulous job.
