LES stands for the "Licensing Executive Society" the web site can be found here.
My first response when my colleage Bill Behn suggested I attened the spring LES meeting in Pasadena was to roll my eyes. Cynicism is idealism frustrated. I freely admit I was cynical about attending this meeting. Where did this attitude come from? I don't know. But, I do know that I was surprised at how much value came from attending the meeting. The purpose of this blog post is to explore and explain the value of LES to a newcomer.
