[Fellows] Exam question writing

[Lynn Jorgenson]

Dear Fellows,

I would like to invite you to participate in an important task of the
AICP examination. We continuously add to our pool of exam questions in
order to keep the exam current and I would therefore like to see if you
are interested in contributing to this effort. 

Thomson Prometric, our exam consultants, will conduct a web-based item
writing training session which will equip you with all the applicable
information. During the web conference call, the Thomson Prometric test
developer will present guidelines for good item writing. Through a
series of participatory activities, workshop members will learn about
the variety of item formats available and how to craft good items that
test important concepts in the test specifications.  

We will host this 3-hour web/teleconference meeting on either September
12 or September 14 from 1:00 - 4:00 pm EST. Please let me know if you
are interested in participating in this important activity by responding
by Thursday, September 6 with the following information:

*	Your availability for the both proposed training dates (we will
pick only one):

			September 12 from 1:00 - 4:00 pm EST
____________________
			September 14 from 1:00 - 4:00 pm EST
____________________

*	Your full contact information (include email address, mailing
address and telephone numbers).
*	Your area of specialty (if you have one).

Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you
by September 6.

Best regards,
Rudayna
