( DAC 99 Item 3 ) ----------------------------------------------- [6/25/99]

 The DAC Women's Conference numbers were half ( around 75 attendees) of what
 they were last year (around 150 attendees), but this was to be expected
 since the event ironically fell on Father's Day.

    "Always make it easy for your manager or team to say 'yes' to
     your proposals.

     Do your homework in advance of a presentation and present the
     ideas with conviction.

     Always give people two acceptable alternatives when you present
     them with a decision-making situation; make sure that neither of
     the alternatives is a simple 'no'."

         - some of the commandments, Kathryn Kranen, past-President
           of Verisity, presented at the DAC Women's Conference
