Larraine,

On behalf of The Conference Board, I want to thank you for your time and superlative effort in helping to make the 2012 Fall Executive Conference a great success. You were an outstanding panelist, and the audience evaluations recognized you as such. Your insights and comments were timely and provocative. It was great to meet you, and I hope that we will continue to have opportunities to interact and collaborate in the future.

Best,
