Greetings to all NH PATH Intl. members!
Hopefully you've all been out on a trail - or at least a dirt road - or two, and we certainly hope this snowstorm passes through and goes away quickly!
Time for Spring - and the Annual PATH Region One Conference, this year the weekend of April 16-17, in nearby Rhode Island. I'm sure you've all gotten your invitation to register, and your plans are made to be there. Lots of exciting workshops, networking, and hear for yourself all about the proposed changes to add an outside accreditation to the instructor certification and center accreditation process. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about that - Kathy Alm will be talking about it at the conference, and I just attended a webinar on the subject led by Sam Albrecht, and am prepared for your questions. You can find me at the conference, or
email me here.
Two quick things - Please bring a donation to the silent auction, which is the main source of funding for our scholarships. More and more of you are taking advantage of those, which means we just need more and more items for the auction! I am happy to transport things for you if you need - again, just email me.
The other item is that this is my last year as NH State Chair, and if any of you are interested in doing that next, please let me know!
We are also looking to confirm a date/place for our annual joint state meeting with Vermont - this year it is back in NH, so hopefully many of you can attend. Your input on best time of year/day of the week to hold it is always appreciated.
Keep in touch, hope to see many of you at conference and, enjoy your day! You all do great work!
Kathy Wile
PATH Intl. NH State Chair
