I want to let you know that NIFL will be represented this year by our colleagues Sabrina Kurtz-Rossi and Helen Osborne, both of whom work in Boston at NIFL's eastern technology hub at World Education. Helen is not a World Ed employee but moderates our health-literacy online discussion. Sabrina directs our health literacy work. I wish I could be there! We have to make strategic decisions about our travel, and felt these would be our principal contacts. Thanks for including us in the planning and support, and please tell Cathy hello and I will miss seeing her. I know it will be a great meeting.
