Maybe the new improved way of getting these books into women’s hands is to modify to a local book club format, with local coordinators using the online forum (start with those of us online and see how many would commit to forming their own local bookclub), and following the same monthly format, then having the author teleconferences open to all participants of any local bookclub.  That could potentially expand the #s greatly;  I think women may choose to discuss these topics in greater detail/length with friends than on an online board.  I agree with those who posted that these teleconferences are amazing opportunities.  I confess I have not always been able to arrange my schedule in order to participate.  I believe evenings and weekends would probably generate the most participation, but you have the research/experience to validate or deny my assumption, as far as that goes. J

My two cents…thanks for everything thus far, and I look forward to continuing on, as others have expressed!

That's a great idea Bethany. I'll forward your suggestion to BOLD's new Executive Director so we can discuss in the coming year as we strategize.

Thanks,
Karen
