Here’s what some participants had to say about last year’s workshop:
- Learning how similar issues were dealt with by different departments was great;
- The speakers were excellent and I really enjoyed the 2 Executive panel discussions;
- I enjoyed meeting other federal regulators; sharing experiences and issues;
- The workshop sessions were very engaging and the small group discussions were informative.
