What an attendee said about this ACS Webinar!

As a new lab coordinator and stockroom manager at an institution that traditionally does things differently than I do, this has been a wonderfully informative webinar to see how well my goals for improving my department line up with best practices and practical strategies that were shared today. I greatly appreciate all the resources and external links that were shared for further reference. This was AWESOME! Thank you so much!!
