Helping people feel welcome starts when they walk in the door.
People feel a certain apprehension as they enter and approach the registration desk. They fidget nervously in line.
A helpful ? but clerical ? person behind the table gives them their registration packet. They wander off thinking,?What am I doing here??
As they approach the main doors to the hall, they take a deep breathe. Walking through the doors they hope they?ll see someone they know.
