ASGPP Annual Meeting Agenda Item

[HV Psychodrama]

Most colleges do not have their students empty their dorm rooms during spring break, so if the goal is to have cheap accommodations on campus, spring break isn't going to work. But many schools end the first week in May...so directly after that would be an option I would think. I would urge Ed, Rosalie and anyone else interested to do a little research about what is possible.  Ed, you teach at Lesley...why not find out if we could put on a conference there at the end of the school year.

  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
