Welcome
We're glad you're here.
Whether you joined us in person at this year's WOTVS symposium -- one week ago -- or you've found us in another way, thank you for being here.
Let's keep practicing, together.

We hope it helps. Please also let us know what you think would be useful. We're listening.
Namaste,
Rebecca and Cathy
