[TheForge] "Official" news from ABANA

[Dave Mudge]

The Conference Coordinator is not a paid position. ABANA has only two
of those. LeeAnn , now Heather and not LeeAnn and Rob Edwards editor
of the AR.
So what are you used to making a year? Lets just say $50k. So you are
going to spend a year or more and keep $50k and produce a $300k
conference for $50 k. I would like to see that. What are your
qualifications for being a conference coordinator?
