<div><font size="2" face="Arial">I wonder if the ASGPP membership has advanced
enough in becoming techno-savvy that a fair number---a quorum---could be
addressed in an e-blast to the membership (I think that's been done on
occasion)? That's different from grouptalk---apparently only a modest number of
ASGPP members participate in this forum (the online listserve---even fewer
apparently participate in the ASGPP "Forum")--- </font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"> But it might be a
good way to ask the questions about timing, and the reasons for preference.

<div><strong><font size="2" face="Arial"> When Mario Cossa and I were on the
council we brought this up (7 to 8 years ago) . One of the legitimate
concerns is that conferences in July and August don't seem to draw as many
folks as ones in the spring, at least in the US, HOWEVER, there is no reason
we can't plan our conference for mid to late May or even early June, shortly
after the colleges have finished their spring semesters.</font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="2" face="Arial"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font size="2" face="Arial">And as one of those trainers for whom
this might interfere with summer programs....hey, if we don't increase
attendance at the conferences, people won't become and stay
connected to psychodrama in the first place and that will really interfere
with our programs. </font></strong></div>
<div><strong><font size="2" face="Arial"></font></strong> </div>
<div><strong><font size="2" face="Arial">Also, it may come as a shock to us, but
the purpose of the ASGPP conference is NOT to fill our training programs but
to promote psychodrama.</font></strong></div>

<div><br></div>
<div>We want to advise you that we have requested that the following agenda

<div>for the ASGPP Annual Meeting. This is in response to the ASGPP
President's call for agenda items in</div>
<div>the last PNN.</div>

we the heard voices from students and many new members asking for a National
Conference to take place at a college campus so that affordability was a
priority. </font></div>

change would impact the financial viability of trainers who offer summer
training. And yet our reliance on hotels has diminished the attendance of
our National Conferences. In addition, the Conference format has remained a
cultural conserve. Our European colleagues in the IAGP Summer Academy
in Granada Spain have advanced a conference model. In this model extensive
training is provided. </font></div>

Conference at a college campus with a redesign of a conference format. The
formation of a working group be formed now to begin with a review of the
IAGP Summer Academy's format, and a college campus based 2011
Conference.</font></div>
