2008 ASGPP Writers Workshop

[Edward Schreiber]

I also believe that the ASGPP must support the efforts of the Journal.
This is a practical and important way to do this.  Of course there  
are interest
groups, etc., but this workshop, last year, got rave reviews and  
writing professional
for our organization is part of the whole picture.
