I think this is the crux of the matter.  The education needs to be
disseminated better.  I don't mean that as a criticism of the current
efforts (especially since I'm part of it), just a wish that more be done.
Maybe funding could be available to provide knowledgeable speakers?  I know
that this has GOT to be an issue---AERC currently provides the hotel room
and a fairly minimal ($250) honorarium for convention speakers, which
doesn't even cover travel expenses for most of us living more than 100 miles
away.  Those of us that are going to go anyway, fine.  But, there are a
plethora of wonderful speakers that can't or won't travel without at least
their expenses being covered.  Perhaps we should address a fund being
organized (corporate backing, maybe??) to underwrite travel expenses for
qualified speakers to get to clinics on the local level.

Just a thought.
