Dear colleagues, I'm writing to say that this series is really first-rate and you should attend! I've gone to a couple and been very impressed. They're free! They're fun! They're educational and also inspiring! What's not to love?
And of course Lisa's sessions will be excellent. I've just registered for both. Hope to see some of you there!
