Friday was my first night back to work after ACES, and I tried to use the time off as a complete break. So now that I'm back, I just wanted to thank everyone just one more time for all your work and contributions big and small. It all went off hitch-free on our end (or at least appeared so!) It was such a pleasure getting to know all of you, and I hope we stay in touch. As the editing and communications world remakes itself, there is safety in numbers.
There was some talk about building on ACES and trying for a Twin Cities or Upper Midwest chapter. Any interest? I am going to leave this blog up for a bit if you want to comment on that one way or another.
Thanks again!

And thank YOU for your leadership in local preparations for the conference.
I think a local or regional chapter is worth exploring. My problem with the existing Midwest Chapter is that the Midwest is such a huge region that traveling to one of its conferences can be just as complicated as going to the national conference.
In addition to the U, there are other journalism programs in town, and perhaps we could organize some Upper Midwest gatherings in coordination with area journalism educators.
Thanks again to national and local ACES folk for pressing ahead with the Minneapolis conference despite the additional challenges our business has faced this year.
