Subject:          Connect 2001, Great Success
 
As the Manager of Computer Training for the Training and Education Coordinating Center (TECC) of the Community Colleges of Spokane, I would like to thank you for the great success of Connect 2001 held in Spokane, Washington.
 
Taking part in Connect 2001 allowed TECC to display our Mobile Computer Training Unit to a very select audience.  Your event was so well attended, we were forced to turn people away from almost every session.  The people attending your event were the decision-makers and technical people that we target for the training we offer.  Many events ten times that  size would not attract the size of select audience Connect 2001 did.  I can not yet estimate the training contracts that will result from attending this event, I can only tell you that I was able to touch a large select audience quicker and easier than any event which I have participated.
 
Thank you to you and your staff for your professionalism.
