My small department has been very successful with the AFG grants, over $400 k, so I think we have a grasp on what is needed, but I have learned so much more within the past six month's by reading what Brian and Kurt have had to say as well as many others on here (to many to name).
We decided to host Brian simply because he was available when we asked, not because one is better than the other. With that being said we still plan on attending one of Kurt's seminar's (maybe not this year but next).
When Brian was able to get the seminar for FREE it tickled me because we have several neighboring departments that could not afford the $150.00 fee. Since it has went to free, they are now able to attend and I hope they are successful as well as I hope we are one more time.
In all reality we hosted this seminar for these other departments (beleive it or not) and yes we still have a self serving interest, if they are funded for better equipment or whatever, we benefit from it when we ask for the automatic or mutual aid from them.
