Dear Helen,
Great job on organizing such an excellent and informative workshop. I know a lot of people learnt a great deal from it.  Can you pass on my thanks to Doctor Friedman for his fascinating talk on Staff Motivation?  I realize how lucky we were that he was able to find the time for us.  The feedback from the staff was very positive.  Let’s hope we actually see an improvement in staff motivation as a result!

Thanks again for a great day.
Anne
