Dear CWF delegate,

Thank you so very much for your part in making the 1st Community, Work and Family Conference such a success - your positive contributions and determination to show interest in and get to know other people made it a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

In case you haven't noticed, Taylor and Fransis, the publishers of the Journal Community, Work and Family have made three months free on-line access to the journal available to all those who participated in the conference, as well as a reduced individual subscription price. Details are in your conference packs, or send an email to Michelle.Hunt@tandf.co.uk

Details of how to submit articles to the Journal are in the pack or available at www.tandf.co.uk/journals/authors.cwfauth.asp

When we have some more detailed information to give you about Journal special issues or perhaps an edited book from the conference, we will be in touch.

With all good wishes,
Carolyn Kagan and Sue Lewis

We had 204 attendees from 25 different countries. The result was stimulating, productive and very energising, with a wealth of invaluable contacts and networks being made and policies being driven.
