As you’ll see from the following photos, it was a wonderful week!  If you were part of it, many thanks.  If you weren’t able to come this year, we hope you’ll consider joining us next year.    We’ll post those dates here and on the CWC website as soon as we have them!

“In the Background,” was this year’s Plenary Panel topic.  Once again, three wonderful essays and a discussion that set the tone for the entire conference.
