By Meredith Kinder, Carolina Communiqué Managing Editor
One of the things I enjoy best about being a Carolina Chapter member is the opportunity to share my knowledge with others and then, in return, to receive their knowledge. Our community thrives on members helping each other, no matter if it's helping with practical advice, theoretical advice, or brainstorming. This issue of Carolina Communiqué is centered around such knowledge sharing:
