Personally, I would't consider the feedback to be "mandatory". If you are not comfortable providing your feedback, that is okay. At the same time, we should take this, a request from the DIRECTOR of our program for feedback, as something not to be taken lightly.
Being a direct request from our director, our feedback is very important, and lack of giving feedback will not reflect well on us as a group. Additionally, this feedback is necessary for Carolyn's keynote address at the conference, and as her success in such endeavors is related to the success of the program, we should be trying to help with our feedback.
If you can submit your feedback by this FRIDAY, that would be very helpful, as Carolyn needs it ASAP. Thanks Everyone!
