Bill,

Great job with the conference last week. I'm in Ohio now for the Educational Innovation Summit, which has a great line up.
Also, I'd love to give a workshop next year, so keep me in mind. Something about setting up and internal PD and coaching program, which is what I'm currently working towards at KO. Thanks again.
