Please accept this letter as a note of our profound gratitude for your outstanding presentation to us last May 26, at the National Arts Centre, on your topic of \u201c Creativity and Innovation in Organizational Principles.\u201d\u00a0 The audience of professors, teachers, artists, arts institution administrators and government officials, from across Canada, were deeply moved, not only by your remarks but also by the manner of your impassioned presentation and inspiring ideas.
