Aloha:
I would like to take this time to thank you all for supporting the CNH conference on Kauai last month. It was a tremendous success. With tight budgets and even tighter priorities, I know all of you had to pick one or two venues to have a presence at this year. I am glad you made CNH one of your priorities.
We had 118 registered, way more than I had anticipated. It definitely was a tremendous success.
The next CNH Spring conference is slated for Maui in 2012. I look forward to seeing you all there. Again, mahalo for your continue support.
