A two (2)-hour block of time is planned at each 2013 regional conference as a working session. It is scheduled at a time not conflicting with other activities. Outstanding speakers have been obtained and sessions are designed to serve the interests and concerns of Society members. Members in attendance have the opportunity to discuss forum related issues.
A Canadian Forum will take place at the NE Regional in Maine and the NW Regional in Wyoming. Two Forums are necessary as there are Canadian members in both regions. The Forum will bring educational issues forward from each province to update the overview of education in Canada. The school project in Mexico will be updated and guidelines concerning the Canadian projects will be discussed. Canadian members will be able to develop a shared sense of purpose and fellowship renewing old friendships and making new ones.
The European Forum is the youngest forum. The forum consists of nine countries, nine languages, nine cultures, nine school systems and nine histories. As a group, the forum members look for common interests and work with those issues to organize an interesting meeting during the regional conference or the international convention.
The Latin-American Forum is an assembly for an open discussion on topics of common concern, all in Spanish. The Forum meetings are held at the Southwest Regional Conference.
The U.S. Forum will be held at all four regional conferences in the United States. The U.S. Forum also sponsors a National Legislative Seminar at the Holiday Inn/National Airport in Crystal City, Virginia. The dates are March 16-19, 2014. You will receive a brochure at the US Forum with complete information regarding the NLS.
Enjoy your forum at your regional conference this summer.
