Creating a Network 2012 – many new programs forming Focus group discussion list In-person meetings
Discussion List I had a simple question about when a trainer is training and there is a lag time between the trip going one way and the next bus coming the opposite way to get back. Should I plant a car to stay in until the bus comes by again or should I do the trip at two different times. There isn’t a coffee shop nearby to hang out and there is a 35 min lag time. Just wondering if you had any ideas.
