Will we be able to preregister for classes before the convention? Last year it was chaos with hundreds pushing you out of the way to sign papers all at the same time then people kept adding lines to classes that were allready closed.

I would like to know my schedual and plan my education before I get there. That would eliminate a lot of problems later.

Thank You for taking the time to review my thoughts.

We will have registration set up on the convention web site as soon as the schedule is worked out.

We are meeting in Orlando in October to do all of the final planning for class schedules, vendor layouts, FOOD, and the Super Bowl Party. Should all be done shortly thereafter.

We know Dave. Quit rubbing it into our face. 


If we only had some other motivated Mass. Inspectors that could see things through up there, approval would be just a step away.

No one will take the lead.

Dave stepped forward and then got into an argument with a ladder and the ladder won. Now I guess we will just have to wait.

Keep working on it Aimee....

John,

I'm not rubbing it in. I'm simply hinting or tapping a particular individual on the shoulder (NACHI representative).

I spoke to an individual (I'm not going to mention a name) three weeks ago who stated that he would attend the next Mass. board of education meeting in order to get NACHI credits approved. Well, this individual never attended the meeting and is ignoring all my emails.

As to why....I haven't a clue.

Typical NACHI promise, I guess.

I never asked this individual for the favor. He called me and told me not to worry about Massachusetts CE credits and to leave it to him to get this squared away. I became very excited to his endeavor, as this was when I just fractured my leg and could not continue my venture into Boston.

I'm just very upset that a promise was not kept and that Massachusetts CE credits will never get approved if we don't get what the Massachusetts board requests. If this individual never called me to make the (so-called) promises, I'd be in a better situation.
