"CAPPA folks are pretty outspoken and blunt.  Tim addressed, answered and satisfied all questions and comments.  His presentation, demeanor, professionalism and honesty in dealing with some difficult questions certainly changed some minds in the audience and several voiced that directly to Tim at the conclusion of his discussion and Q&A.  We are most appreciative of ASI’s continuing support to regional associations and look forward to strengthening our relationship in the coming months and years.  Thank you for affording CAPPA the opportunity to meet face to face with Tim."
