The biggest feat was funding the event. I applied for a Special Funds request to pay for a Honorarium payment, one nights stay, travel and food expenses - it was quite a bit of money. I just got word this week that the event was approved for funding! I am ecstatic!
There is a quite a bit more planning to be done in order to get everything managed and organized. It will be a lot of work, but well worth it! The event is tentatively scheduled for mid April!
More information to come!
