Without each and every one of you, the conference wouldn’t have been such a huge success!In this issue of our newsletter, we provide highlights from this year’s GHC and — whether or not you attended the conference — offer ways to stay involved with the community and support our programs throughout the year.

We also feature an advice column by leadership coach Jo Miller, a preview of our 2008 webinar series, and list several upcoming community events, including our December TechLeaders.
