<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>With the release of the PD calendar (in this draft form) – it is
very metro centric. These are the sessions that we will organise and run (and
most of these will be will attended). A large problem with the regional PD’s
is making them break even – and we have not been able to do this in previous
years. However, this is something that we are very aware of – and rest assured
we will be putting some things in place to make these PD’s available to the regions
in a variety of forms – teleconf, podcasting etc. – as well as offering some
face to face PD.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>The only reason that the regional PD’s are not listed in our
calendar at the moment is that we have not had time to sit down and work out
what we will be doing in this regard – and this will happen in the next couple
of weeks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

very successful – however, we will try a few different things this year and see
if we can do a better job of serving our regional members!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

VITTA can run a session and either break even or make money, I get the
