Dear PEERCI,
Jodi Bogerding suggested I contact you about this question. Last year, I was on the winning trivia team. A teammate, today, suggested that one of the prizes for winning last year was free admission to this year’s conference (or maybe trivia event?). Is any of that true?
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Berkbigler
Hi Jeffrey,
I’ve scoured my files, and have found no evidence that there was any prize other than the satisfaction of being the best of the best, and a super awesome little trophy. However, it’s a good thought and I’ll bring it up as we plan for this year’s Trivia Night – hope to see you there!
Take care,
Cindy Thompson
PEER CI Chair
