Keshini:
Congratulations on a very well-rounded WEBINAR on a crucial subject area at this critical time. I am sure it gave valuable insight and information to many of the listeners. I know you put in a great effort to pull it through, but you should be proud that at the end of it, you were able to make the Foundation perform an excellent service to the community.
Well done! Nandi.
PS: Do try to make the introductory part at the beginning short. Try beginning with the first speaker ASAP and then introduce other speakers and information sandwiched between the other speakers. Today it was more than half-hour before the first speaker came online and you may lose listeners that way. nj.

Dear Friends,
Well-Done! Yesterday’s event was perfect in every way. I left the webinar astounded at the level of dedication and hard work every panel member put into his/her presentation. May you all reach every height of success!
To the SLF webinar organizers, you did an outstanding job. Planning and executing a webinar of this magnitude is no small feat.
I would certainly be remiss if I did not thank Keshini for all she did to make this a success. You are such a dedicated, hard-working, and yet still tenacious at the same time. You’re an inspiration to all of us.
I hope our paths will cross soon. Until then, please stay safe and healthy!
