Colleagues, Thanks for raising the issue, Doug. While I would be happy to work with others to host the next event in Asheville, I think it might make more sense for the next one to be more centrally located in the Carolinas rather than in the west two years in a row. USC, Davidson, UNCC or the triangle might be better contenders? Even so, I would be glad to help organize the next one whatever the location.
