The session itself was a great overview of the GMT database and I want to commend Nina’s skill facilitating the training session via conference call and Webinar. It’s not easy to keep 10+ people on track, but she was able to attend to people’s questions, while moving us through the agenda! I’m looking forward to learning more and applying the tools.
