OPENING REPORT
C.A. WORLD SERVICE CONFERENCE 2006
Public Information REPORT
INTRODUCTION AND OPENING COMMENTS:
This committee is very much looking forward to being able to work together face-to-face during this conference as several of our members do not have internet access. Our committee has several referrals that are still pending within our sub-committees. We did have a conference call during the year to help facilitate this work.
We spent time at last year’s conference tabulating the survey information. Unfortunately, this information has been misplaced. We are still determining the best resolution to this situation.
We expect to have an up-dated workbook completed by the end of this conference.

To be provided with generic public information that has been tailored to the international community at large, i.e. posters without U.S. help lines, but space for local hlep lines to be written in as well as blank space for international web address.

Would the PI committee consider a contact sheet that includes the area PI chairs information and then contact that chair one time a year to help them understand and be knowledgeable of the resources available in the PI work book and how to use them.” These referrals are still being worked on in our sub-committees.
