Now, we turn our training focus to planning our Autumn 2010 RTP. The RTP Committee is comprised of Christine Cantine and Danielle Harrington, Big Apple Chapter; Kim McLaughlin and Jennifer Hinderliter, Western New York Chapter; Lesly Galloway, Brookhaven Chapter; Roberta Simpkin and Valerie Howell, Fort Monmouth Chapter; and, Jayne Cousins, Regional Training Chair, Greater Merrimack Valley Chapter. They are working hard to put together another wonderful learning experience for you! Bookmark this page and check it frequently, as information will be updated as it is confirmed.

Download and post this Save the Date flyer where you work and invite friends and co-workers to join you on October 22nd for an excellent day of local training! Come to the Meet-and-Greet, too (see below for a link to a downloadable flyer about the Meet-and-Greet that you can also share with friends and co-workers). New this year will be themed baskets for raffle at the Meet-and-Greet. Tickets will be 1-for-$1 or 5-for-$6. Funds raised from the baskets support the Region's Scholarship Fund. Our goal is to raise enough money to fully-fund a member to the National Training Program in Philadelphia, PA, in July 2011. Every contribution helps.

In recognition of the economic difficulties everyone is facing, we kept the registration prices the same as they were in 2009. This is an excellent value for both members and non-members for high-quality, career-oriented one-day training.
