What fellows have to say about past seminars:
"I was amazed by the caliber of professionals who gathered to share their research and ideas. And the other journalists were so experienced that I also learned a great deal from them. I am leaving today with professional contacts all over the country. The best part is that I have story ideas and new skills that I can use when I return to work on Monday... Thank you! This was the most useful professional development opportunity I have had in years."
