  • Would it be possible for us to host a ONE event? I looked for the closest ones around here, and Cincy is it. Just a thought I think we should put into action.

  • Yes. Absolutely. We have done some ONE stuff here before and Kim Smith, the local rep, is more than happy to do so. You might try her at kim@data.org and see what might be coming up that we could help with or host.
