After the park's formal presentation, we were given detailed responses to a number of questions we'd sent them in the weeks prior to the meeting. After lunch, we entered into enthusiastic discussions about how the ABR's planned programs and some programs being considered by the park could productively compliment each other.
The ABR Steering Committee considers the meeting to have been an informative, productive and encouraging experience.
