Written comment received at "The Big Learning Event":

I am amazed at the number of poeople who remain committed toward positive change and wanting NEW FC to do it right.  There are amazingly a large number of people not just committed, but unbelievably passionate.  If we did anything through this process, we brought that passion out and allowed voice of commitment to these issues.....our creation of something great!

Kudos for bringing the experts to the table to share their knowledge, vision, and experiences.
