“I Wish to Say”
A treat for us; Sheryl discusses early thoughts, Creative Capital Grant work, and a giving Q/A session.
What a wonderfully spectacular experience this year that was only footsteps away from my residence in the city I have come to love! These past 20 years have been an honor to lead the ISAIA conference: a great many years on my own, some with the assistance and guidance of Bill Hardy in the early years, some with the brotherly companionship of Ian Torney in recent years. All of the years with the joy and camaraderie of ISAIA members. It. has. been. GREAT !!! Thank you.
Scot J. Wittman, President
