Thanks for the reply, Rahma. Wellesley is a recognized and respected leader in the area of Community-Based Research and I appreciate you sharing these links. I’m hoping I can attend, but am uncertain at this time (previous commiments). I may have to contact you afterward if I can’t be there.
Best, Michael
