Announcement #1

The Central Texas Section is hosting an Ethics Seminar with
Carol Barrett, FAICP on Friday, April 11th at the LCRA
Riverside Conference Center in Bastrop.  The flier with full
details is available at the following link:

e.pdf 

 

It qualifies for 2 CM credits, including the 1.5 required
ethics.  The cost is $40 for non-Section members and RSVP's
are required because space is limited.  

 

 

Announcement #2

Here is a link to a free one day online AICP test
preparation seminar on April 12.  It is being coordinated by
some very knowledgeable people. The Texas Chapter is one of
the sponsors.

Although it is free to register, you need to look at the
phone costs.  Some of you may have free or reduced weekend
rates.  Perhaps several of you could get together with a
speaker phone.  Soon you will be sent information on a one
day test preparation workshop on May 3 sponsored by the
Central Section.  It will be in Lakeway near Austin and
there will be a small charge.

 

If you have any questions, please contact me.
