Update: CPSI 2007

Hi Everyone!
The following is the latest word from CEF. It seems that there will be a CPSI this year, but I don't think there is a location yet. As soon as I come across any new information I will post it here.

"Dear Creative Problem Solver,

This is to let you know that we are in the final stages of negotiation with a venue for CPSI 2007. We are expecting the dates to be Sunday, June 24 to Friday, June 29 (We are shortening the conference by a day, with a Sunday night start. Pre-Conference programs will also be held on Sunday.)

While we had planned to return to Loyola University in Chicago, circumstances after the conference, including the resignation of our Loyola contact and pricing demands, caused us to reconsider and ultimately decline the venue.

Over the past several months, we have been in discussions with 37 venues none of whom could accommodate us this year, but a select few of whom are interested in our business for CPSI 2008. We have been negotiating with 4 additional venues, one of whom is in the forefront.

We will be opening Leader solicitation in February and will send out a notice when we do so. We will also be sharing final dates, program changes and other changes at that time.

Thanks for your interest and patience and stay tuned for more information coming soon.

Sincerely,
Victoria Cliche
Executive Director
Creative Education Foundation

PS: The 2006 Integrating Creative Leadership class is launching the CEF Newsletter next month, so keep a look out for that as well!!!"

Creative Connections January Meeting

Hi Everyone!
Hope the new year is starting out to be a good one for you all!

This is a year of changes for Creative Connections, and our first order
of business for 2007 is to choose new leadership! (It's been a lot of
fun being Creative Connections President, but it's time for me to move
on to other things.)

So if you are interested in becoming involved with Creative
Connections, this is an excellent time to do so. Or, just come to the
meeting to say hi!

We are meeting on Saturday, Jan 20 at noon, in the Peanut Room at the
Center.

Hope to see you there!

:)
Jen
