Irish Smiles of Gratitude
Many thanks to IHRSA for the recent European
Congress in Dublin. We really enjoyed the event,
especially the First Timers Reception. It was well
worth doing and we’ve had some great feedback.
In addition to talking about the wonderful opportu-
nities for networking, sharing experiences, meeting
new and old colleagues, and learning from experts,
we shared the craic. Craic is an Irish term, which
means having a great time, and epitomizes the
spirit of IHRSA.
I look forward to sharing the craic with IHRSA
members in San Diego, during the 2010 International
Convention and Trade Show! —|
