Welcome to the FBEA fledgling social network.
I don't know if we've met, but I attended the FBEA conference this past fall and was very exited about it.
I've been in contact with Brooke and set-up this site for her to check the networking capabilities.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Enjoy!
