This is a story from Joann Cadwell (Mama Cadwell) that I was asked to post:
Years ago, when CCBill first took over the Forum, I noticed that many of the attendees appeared a bit awkward and out of their element during the show.
As each year passed, i slowly began to notice the group maturing, becoming more comfortable with each other and perhaps, with what they do. As the group became more cohesive, with each webmasters social network beginning to grow, the individuals seemed to become more at ease with each other, as well as new people into the group.
We like to think that the Phoenix Forum was a part of this, as a conduit for building and maintaining the relationships necessary for business (as well as personal) development.
I am very proud of what the forum and its attendees has become, and I look forward to seeing each one of you every year, and especially this year
for those of you wondering, Joann is the one in the middle
