Update: Chris Moore missed the event, but another from OnQ was the moderator.

The social worker on the panel is a friend, Dr. Davis from Pitt. That meant I knew all the people on the panel.

I should join The Press Club. It was a great event. I should also join The Economic Club of Pittsburgh too. They also have wonderful speakers and programs. Any running mates interested???
