A Challenge to the ASGPP

[Edward Schreiber]

Why do we think only 150 people will be at our annual conference?
Why do we have an awards banquet that costs so much and excludes so  
many?
Why do we have the same format, for so many years, when the IAGP has  
advanced a model
   of providing training series within the conference format?
Why do we continue to have the conference at hotels, with costs that  
exclude students?
Why do we continue to have the conference at hotels, with costs that  
exclude members?
Why don't we consider a new structure?   Why don't we consider  
adapting the IAGP Academy structure
   that offers in-depth training within a conference experience, in a  
"new" format?
Why don't we have an awards event to honor our members that all  
attendees can attend?  One that does
   not require great expense to our organization or to attendees?
Why don't we consider many options that are new to us and tried by  
others?
Why do we defend a conserve that is falling or failing?
Why don't we take this moment - and begin to recreate ourselves with  
courage and vitality?

I for the last line, anyone interested?

Warmly,

Ed
