Here in Western Canada, the sun is shining and there is definitely a taste of spring fever in the air! We are continuing to plan for the SSSP conference in Philadelphia in August and I look forward to seeing many of you there. PleaseÊcheck this newsletter and the preliminary program for up to date details of all IE related events. As I continue to receive news from members around the globe, I am also noticing a recent resurgence in interest in members seeking ways to connect remotely. As you may be aware, the SSSP IE division recently started a Google group, which you can request to join here: https://groups.google.com/d/forum/sssp_ie. The site is intended as a place for sharing of information and online dialogue (between the whole group and/or privately between selected members). So far, we have a lot of members but not a lot of content! We are currently looking for one or more volunteers to maintain the site, monitor open discussions and post resources etc. If this is something you are passionate about, please email me antwaters@tru.ca. We encourage all to join and participate. I hope that we can start to exchange ideas and generate some interesting discussions in the near future. See you in August, Nicola Two IE Workshops Drs.
