Education Committee Call

The Education Committee met this morning, and as usual, we had a lot of tasks to complete.

We are looking to bring in a panel discussion on universal healthcare as the plenary session at OPA's Convention. We also have some possible keynote speakers to contact about psychologically healthy workplaces, Medicaid, etc. Hopefully we'll be able to annouce our keynote and plenary speaker by the end of March.

Our standalone workshop schedule is almost complete. We've added an Ethics Roundtable for August 22 (a little over a week before the biennium ends) and a course with Dr. Sandy McPherson in August. Registration for these workshops will begin late March.

Thanks to the collaboration of the MCE and LGBT Committee, the Education Committee will unveil a new call for proposals for standalone workshops. Anyone will be able to access this form to complete if they are interested in presenting. Look for that to hit the Web site in the next few weeks.

The committee also reviewed proposals for the 2009 Convention...location to follow in the next month! Stay tuned!
