Melanie Seery from NYAffiliateVoice.com just posted a detailed summary of the New York Tax Session at Affiliate Summit. She’s breaking her commentary about the session into 2 parts and that was the 1st post.

I’m really happy that Shawn and Missy could make room for this important session. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there and am looking forward to seeing the video. In case you missed it, the panelists included Clarke D. Walton - Walton Law Firm, P.C. Chris Henger - Google Affiliate Network, Melanie Seery - NY Affiliate Voice Kim Rodgers - 4Checks.com. The panel was moderated by Adam Riemer from Downtown eCommerce Partners.

UPDATE 8/15 8 AM - Part 2:

Impact of the NY Tax Session at Affiliate Summit
“We have shown not only the power of individuals but the power of working together towards a common goal. We showed that each aspect of this business is important and we need to respect one another. Whether you are a member of an organization, an emerging organization or an informal group like the “Albany group” you can make a difference - and there is room enough for all. We will never all agree on anything but we can still work towards the same goal. The key to it all is open and honest communication and always moving forward.”
