by Sylvia Dresser By the time you are reading this issue of the Ripple Effect, the Heartland Annual Conference will have been and gone - I know it's going to be a very successful one! It's never too early, though, to begin planning for the year 2000 - the Heartland conference will be held at George Williams College in Williams Bay, Wisconsin, March 10-12. It's a very central location for our conference, sure to draw many participants and great presenters! In the meantime, you can become a vital part of the Heartland by planning a networking get-together, sometimes called a playday, in your area. We have a list of procedures to follow, the only thing that limits what you can do is your creativity! In the fall, the AEE International Conference will be held in Rochester, New York, October 28-31. For those of you who have not yet had the opportunity to attend one of these conferences, it's a huge treat - top names in the field of Experiential Education, great keynote speakers, wonderful times to get together with others who work in the field. The largest conference to date had an attendance of 1650, this one may well surpass that. AEE also has a host of interesting publications, including several books which have been reviewed in these pages, and the Journal of Experiential Education. Members receive the Journal as a membership benefit, and can order books at a discount. For more information on any of these activities, contact me at 847-945-6095 of <sdres15556@aol.com>. You can also access information on the AEE web page, <www.aee.org>. Come join the fun! |
