+1 from me.  I'm very grateful, especially as the guy who deals with the 
budget, for the work of the NA Ambassadors, who are great about letting 
me know what they need, when they need it, and present me with budget 
plans and bills to pay.

I'm sure most everyone on this list has already realized it -- but the 
regions of the world where the Ambassadors are most aggressive about 
making stuff happen locally, and communicating together to form 
leadership teams, are the areas that have great events, lots of swag, 
and wonderful results.

Local teams with autonomy and vision are the way to go.  My thanks to 
all our Ambassadors, around the world, who are working to make this 
happen.
