ASGPP Annual Meeting Agenda Item

[LipmanNYC1 at aol.com]

Dear Ed:
I suggest that you speak to the NADT people.They changed their  cultural 
conserve. They took a chance and rescheduled their conferences during  the summer 
for several years. It nearly destroyed their organization. Their  numbers went 
way down, and their conferences became smaller and smaller. 
I don't think that as an organization we can afford to do this.
If you want to have a conference at a college campus then I suggest that  you 
do it during the spring break in March or April. that would be less of a  
change and one that would be possible to organize.
Another possibility is to change the cultural conserve in terms of when the  
conference is scheduled at a hotel. There is a period of time called the  
shoulder season in February. Hotels are cheaper and more available. That is why  
AGPA schedules their conferences then.
Also, EGPS did their conference at Riverside church in NYC, a great venue.  
No one had to bother with hotel rooms etc. That is also a thought and to let  
people fend for themselves, providing information on cheap housing.
There are lots of ways to be creative in tough financial times, but I don't  
think that having a summer conference is one of them. Justr mu thoughts.
Louise
