CAFKA.18: A Look Back from the Executive Director

CAFKA.18 came to a close on July 1, 2018. For those on the staff and board of directors, it was the culmination of months of organizing and planning and a lot of hard work. I  would like to acknowledge those who helped to make it happen and I have put together a scrap book of fond memories. I'll be adding more images as they come along.

As you can imagine, there are a lot of thank yous to be made. But I would be extra thankful to you, reader, if you could just take a few moment to complete the CAFKA.18 audience survey. Click on the link and it should take you no more than 5 minutes. Tops. I'll wait here while you do it . . .
