"I think Ms. Myers was a fantastic speaker. She has a full and complete understanding of the material presented. I would like to know, why she could not be allowed to finish her presentation. My vote would have been for her to continue and complete the presentation. Please have her back again. Maybe have this particular topic to be increased to 90 or 120 min. Thank yOU"
