It should be a challenge and a great opportunity to develop a new skill set. I'm excited, but nervous and a tad sad as I do love my current job. At an… Continue

Thanks, Lucy... It's a been a great ride so far. We've accomplished alot but there is still so much to do before we open.

This is a great Ning, Lucy. We're looking forward to engaging in some fabulous discussion here. Look out for Don Adams. He's our main curriculum designer and is joining up here as well.
