    Just loved the mini-symposium! Meeting Carrie Boatman, previous president, was wonderful, learning about the heart, it’s procedures, more about the electrical functions and their importance, was just invaluable! Loved to hear from Kat King that AHDI West will be doing more meetings, perhaps another one in Sacramento, next year, at least 4 per year was very encouraging to be able to “save the date” for those upcoming events! Seeing Karen Fox-Acosta is always a breath of fresh air and overall, a wonderful use of time and the networking was so valuable! Overall, it was a great day, a definite do-again!!!

    I just wanted to take this opportunity to say ‘thank you’ to all who attended, hosted, planned and spoke at this event. It was really nice to get together with everyone to network, meet new people and just learn something new. The speaker was excellent and the meeting venue was easy to find and a very nice place to have a meeting. I am looking forward to more meetings in the Sacramento area next year! It was so nice to see so many familiar faces and new ones too. Thanks again!!
