ASGPP Annual Meeting Agenda Item

[Edward Schreiber]

Dear Colleagues,

We want to advise you that we have requested that the following  
agenda item be placed on the agenda
for the ASGPP Annual Meeting.  This is in response to the ASGPP  
President's call for agenda items in
the last PNN.

Respectfully submitted,

Edward Schreiber

Please include the following item for the agenda for the Annual Meeting:


In our work with Antony Williams at an Annual Meeting some years ago  
we the heard voices from students and many new members asking for a  
National Conference to take place at a college campus so that  
affordability was a priority.

 From that discussion some years ago, concerns emerged that such a  
change would impact the financial viability of trainers who offer  
summer training. And yet our reliance on hotels has diminished the  
attendance of our National Conferences. In addition, the Conference  
format has remained a cultural conserve. Our European colleagues in  
the IAGP Summer Academy in Granada Spain have advanced a conference  
model. In this model extensive training is provided.

We propose that a working group be formed now, to establish a 2011  
Conference at a college campus with a redesign of a conference  
format. The formation of a working group be formed now to begin with  
a review of the IAGP Summer Academy's format, and a college campus  
based 2011 Conference.
Respectfully submitted,

Edward Schreiber
