IAPC PRAISE from the LEADING INDUSTRY ICONS and ACCLAIMED AUTHORS
Alinda: It was a personal and professional thrill to meet so many protocol experts at your conference in May. IAPC has crossed new borders by promoting an 'all inclusive community' and elevating the professionalism of protocol.

I think we should all salute Alinda Lewris and thank her for doing the impossible - getting a group of competing manners and etiquette luminaries together for her IAPC seminar in May. Corralling them to come to the Washington Willard Hotel for the meeting was a sterling idea to begin with, but bringing it off with the panache and enthusiasm she did made it a golden event. Everyone seemed to have learned a lot, and to have had a good time passing on their knowledge to others. To me, that in itself was an example of wonderfully good manners in action!

Alinda Lewris - What a privilege it was being part of the IAPC May event! Bringing together the most prestigious voices in the field of etiquette today was a memorable accomplishment. I want to believe that the industry will take to heart your message of inclusion. And I hope that IAPC will grow and prosper with you at the helm for many years to come.

What a fabulous idea of Alinda Lewris! She set out to round up those of us who call "etiquette" our life-work and passion - and she managed to do just that! I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to meet the others in the field of manners. We had a wonderful opportunity to learn from each other and to share ideas in a friendly and inclusive forum. I look forward to future gatherings, and send my sincere thanks to Alinda and her IAPC associates.
