Welcome Back!
We revisit our Keyboard Roundtable from the last issue to further explore their discussion about ways to improve DOVIAs' role as a means of interaction, support and advocacy. Our Roundtable discussed the possibility of a "national umbrella" organization, AVA's role in connecting DOVIAs and international conferences, and even methods by which an international conference could be facilitated. In addition, the discussion led to inevitable side topics, albeit topics not uniquely related to DOVIAs, such as the need for better training methods. to further explore their discussion about ways to improve DOVIAs' role as a means of interaction, support and advocacy.
