Commending Program Chairpeople or Meeting Planners
Guidelines and Alternate Phrases
State your general commendation about the program or meeting arrangements.
I want to express my admiration for your planning skills—the convention schedule and logistics could not possibly have been handled any better than during this recent AVA meeting.
Just a note to tell you I thoroughly enjoyed the recent AVA seminar topics and speakers. Your selection was right on target for our group.
As you must have realized by now, the AVA meeting was a great success, thanks to your planning and foresight.
Last week’s AVA meeting was one of the highlights of my career. Your administration of the details, the program, and the follow-up roundtables far exceeded my every expectation for the meeting. I want to commend you for making it such a worthwhile and enjoyable experience.
Mention at least one or two specific details that were particularly outstanding. For example, comment on the planning time and effort involved, share complimentary remarks you heard others in the group make about the meeting, or pass on follow-up results or successes you attribute to the meeting or program.
As I left the room, I heard others in the group comment on your wise selection of a speaker and how applicable her comments were to the group as a whole. Such, as you know, is not always the case.
I’ll have to admit I was dreading “just another long drawn-out meeting.” What a pleasant surprise to find the agenda was well defined, the speakers addressed the topics they’d announced, and the accommodations were exceptional.
The delicious food, not the usual banquet fare, was served fresh and warm.
When you chose the accommodations, you certainly had people like me in mind—the large work space in each room, the exercise and jogging facilities, and the easily accessible transportation around the area.
Thanks to your attention to detail, things ran so smoothly—not a single hitch or complaint.
Thank you for your special effort in making it easy for those attending the conference alone to “network.” I know having the message boards and all the special sign-up booths for dinner groups and after-hours tours required additional volunteer help, but such extras made the trip especially enjoyable for those of us traveling alone.
