Irwin,

Today’s trade mission was excellent. I loved the format and structure. I found it much more productive than spending an entire day listening to managers present for 45 minutes at time. The way I view it is even if a manager is not one of interest, I’m only spending 15 minutes with him and if it’s a manager I’m interested than we follow up with them later. And  lastly, a 15 minute break would have been useful halfway through. Overall, as I said, I thought it was very well done. There were a number of managers that tweaked my interest that I will be following up with.
For sure please include me in your next one!
Regards,
