A Challenge to the ASGPP

[Adam Blatner]

Dear Ed and all, 

    First, good for you for passing alonng the IEATA
conference information. (Interestingly, I've communicated to them my
desire to get these announcements but they didn't send me one. What
does that say about publicity skills?)

      I do support building bridges with
related organizations, and recently suggested to one of their
ex-officers that they tell folks about our conferences and also the
IAGP conference. 



      Second, you seem to be implying that we
model our conference on theirs, though there are a variety of
differences. Could you be more specific in your suggestions?

    Please don't assume that any disagreement or
hesitancy can only be interpreted as fear of change or any of the other
reasons you fantasize that people don't change. Here's another reason:
What (fairly specifically) would you suggest as an alternative? What
are the pros and cons of your suggestion? Every political move has
disadvantages as well as advantages. 

   Warmly, Adam

Dear Colleagues,How
much are we willing to stay stuck in our conserve, a conference
structure that no longer meets the needs of the larger community to
hear, learn, grow with our method?  We keep the same format, the
same awards dinner for the same selected people who can afford to
attend, the same on-going structures that frankly are becoming stale.
 A recent letter by Zerka to the President and the Council has
called for us to grow.  Yet what I continue to hear is fear,
resistance to take a leap.  So here's the challenge:  Read
the enclosed and see what we could offer to the world - with the will,
creativity, and drive to bring our method to the world in a way that
grows us beyond the conserve our conference has become.
Here's an example:best,Ed
