the quarterly magazine of ILTA 65 Peer to Peer from the president G reetings, ILTAns! With Spring, hope springs eternal; and we are starting to see some signs that the economy is bouncing back. However, we are continually being asked for creative ways to "do more with less." This issue of Peer to Peer is full of ideas to assist you in meeting management expectations in this area. And don't forget the many resources ILTA has for our colleagues and friends trying to find new opportunities in this less-than-perfect economy! Meeting with peers at ILTA in-person events is one of the best ways to be educated and inspired on all of your pressing business and technology issues. In March, I had the honor and privilege of participating in INSIGHT, ILTA's annual one-day event in London. The exceptionally strong educational program featured panels on virtualization and open source solutions, a keynote from the managing partner of a leading London firm and a wonderful presentation from a managing lawyer helping us understand how to "walk with dinosaurs" in our organizations. As always, our vendor community provided terrific support, and the networking was outstanding — before, during and after the event! And lots is happening throughout our community. With continued vendor consolidation, the pace of change in existing technology and emergence of new technologies, and the evolution of our communities of interest, the Board is reviewing the structure of our peer groups to be sure we've strategically aligned them with these changes. The Board will give this area their attention at the June Board meeting, where our new electees will be observing the process. I congratulate the new electees to the Board who will take their seats at the table in August following our annual conference. We're announcing them on page 74. I hope to see many of you at ILTA events or on the ILTA e-groups.
