Susan,

I had to leave the workshop early so I didn't get a chance to say goodby or thank you and Rod for the terrific job you did. I am assuming that Leilani will get you a copy of the evaluations which were all really great to excellent.

I just want to acknowledge both of you for the work you have done to be able to have that converation with people in the way you do. I fully appreciate what it takes to get outside all your personal concerns and issues to be able to create that kind of safe space and make that kind of difference with people. I have shared you with my friends and have provided your phone and address to my consulting friends who do business consulting. They were very interested as there isn't a resource like that that comes our way very often.

Again, thank you for the contribution you made to my organization, and for your courage and stand for altering the conversation about GLBT's.
