BCG Education Fund workshop is limited to 60 people. It takes place on the day
before the NGS conference activities. NGS has been very supportive of the
Education Fund and allows use of conference space but doesn't require
cross-registration. That is, you can spend the $90 on the workshop without
attending the conference itself if you are really cutting costs. That's a real
strong sense of support NGS gives the Ed Fund.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=359181500-30122009>Every
year the Education Fund does two different topics. Every year they change. This
year the two topics are Kip Sperry on reading early handwritting and Pam Sayre
on synchronizing reporting/writing with research [grin: some know this by the
term "res-righting"]. Each attendee goes to both workshops. Together they take
up the full day and lunch is included.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

one of the Education Fund trustees, which is how I seem to know so much! We
tried to get the best to present these two topics. Generally registration closes
before the end of the NGS conference early-registration period. You register for
it using the regular NGS conference registration site.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
