Pam was a guest speaker in my MBA course 'Supply Chain Outsourcing.' Most of the students have significant current supply chain responsibilities at many of the leading firms in Silicon Valley. The students found Pam's presentation to be a real eye-opener, and many reported specific action items that they will pursue in their firms right away.

Regarding your presentation at our International Conference on Lead-Free Soldering, your keynote received a very good response. A number of participants identified your presentation among the most valuable; and considering that on the whole the participants wrote that all the presentations were valuable, that's very good feedback.

I think that we all can be proud of today's Roundtable: great attendance and good interchange. Pamela is an excellent presenter. We need to find more speakers of her caliber. Thanks, truly well done. The only downside is that raising the bar this high, we will have to work even harder to match this success in the future.

TFI's report on Central and Eastern Europe characterized the region well, featuring critical trends and key players. We are pleased with the report - it helped us to substantiate many of our plans, ...and in some ways change our thinking for going in a slightly different direction. Quite frankly, it's another positive experience with TFI.
