Hi, everyone:
I had to dash the second it was over, but it was a good event.
One comment I wanted to send to everyone: If that candidate really reads details, facts and footnotes, he is an unusual person. What people read these days is bullet points; and usually only three at a time.
I am forever having to re-write, taking out references and details, to make a web page or brochure or email readable. Shorter, more concise, lots of white space -- those are the requirements.
We might want to have the references available on request, but if we document everything we say, and our paper is 20 pages, it won't be read and it won't help us.
Once again, great event, and thanks to everyone who did so much work.
Anne

(This is a Anchorage Chapter - AKLA message, replies will go to the whole list.)
If you were at the first ever legislative forum held by the Anchorage Chapter of AkLA last night at UAA Consortium Library, this message is for you –
Do you have any ideas or suggestions for how we could have improved the event?
One person has already suggested that we give attendees a list of candidates so she could make notes about the person and their views – sort of a baseball type scorecard.
The candidate who questioned the source of the statistics used on the myths and realities sheet was right – we should have quoted our sources somewhere on that paper!
Mollie, Clare and I will be meeting on Friday to debrief and write thank you notes, so let us know what you think.
Patience
