Hi All IEPPV Members,
As many of you are aware, the IEPPV Board has expanded the Professional Active
Membership classification and you are now able to upgrade it to a Professional Active
Premium Membership.
This is the official description of the upgrade:
"IEPPV is offering a Professional Active Premium upgrade. This is merely an “upgrade” to the Professional Active member and includes all classes, seminars and workshops that IEPPV offers, as space is available. No “Open House discount” is offered for this upgrade."
In general terms, it means that the Premium upgrade includes ALL educational opportunities that IEPPV provides throughout the year; including the in-field workshops, the in-room classes, the fall season class and other educational opportunities as they arise. That means, as a Premium member, they are FREE TO YOU. If you are not a Premium member, each class is $35, as it always has been.
The IEPPV Board set up this upgrade to keep the cost of educational opportunities low for the members. We hope you will take advantage of this new upgrade if you are planning on attending the workshops and/or classes.
Here is the 2010 schedule as it has been set so far. Other educational opportunities will surely be added as time permits, to sign up for any of these workshops or classes, or if you have ANY questions, please contact BOB FLETCHER at fletcher@linkline.com
