CINZ’s ceo Sue Sullivan whoinstigated the ‘shoosh’ duringMEETINGS 2015 to silence thenoisy people who talked whenshe was speaking, said of herexperience, “I was talking to a
colleague afterwards and saidnext time I’ll bring a sheep ormy dog whistle hung around myneck with my pearls or better stillput my ngers in my mouth towhistle up the crowd. They didn’tthink it a very becoming thingfor me to do. Clearly, they don’tknow me that well,” she joked.
Weighing in to the issue, ICMSAustralasia md Bryan Hollidaysuggested his solution might beworth considering.
