Maybe the only problem was that we did not receive information on time. 3. Companies must be open and present accident case histories. Borden should have presented their fatality. 4. Use different formats, i.e. panel/workshop/small group discussion. 5. Encourage speakers/presenters to have copies of material available for all group. 6. Program chairman should not use platform/mike as a vehicle to convey own thoughts, but should be facilitating comments from others. 7. Announce vendor hospitality suites for all members. 8. Send questionnaires earlier so results are ready for meeting or allow ways/means and time to collate at meeting so the results which are shared are meaningful, current and able to be discussed. 4087q/kp 11/30/83 OCC 4507
