next conference

[Indigo9142 at aol.com]

Just adding my two cents to this discussion, as a psychodrama student who  
has about 900 hours of training but has decided not to pursue  certification, 
primarily due to financial constraints...
 
If the psychodrama community is truly committed to diversity and expansion,  
it seems most important to make the process of training and certification  
affordable. Although the affordability of the annual conference is a concern, I  
would suggest that broader systemic thinking is necessary here. Unless lower  
income people are able to afford ongoing training, we are unlikely to be in a  
position to be interested in attending the conference at all.

Northampton, Mass has 5 colleges, including Smith College,  University  
of Massachusetts, Amherst, Hampshire College and Mt.  Holyoke  
College.   We could find one college, I am sure,  to house a  
conference in 2009.  Colleges end mid-May, so we  would have to have  
an early June conference.  The conference  could include, for those  
who wanted, rental of a dorm room.   There are hotels here as well.

The criteria I hear from many is simply  cost.  Miami was great but  
the cost was high.   If we  want to attract many we have to make it   
affordable.
