Presenters from a range of local groups who have practical experience in the area they’re speaking.

Topics

For 2013, we will offer three workshops in three areas. The first in each series will be an overview of the topic area and the next two will be more specific on particular skills and usually include a working session.

Each session is standalone and even if you can’t make it to the whole series, you are welcome to come to one or two of the others in the series. Topics fall into three general areas, and each session takes a particular slant. You are very welcome to offer your suggestions for topics and send questions in advance.
