Good News, Everybody!
Aug. 26th, 2012 09:50 pmThe All Join Hands Foundation has approved funding for the GCA's caller school, July 1-3, 2013, in conjunction with the San Francisco IAGSDC convention! Yay!
My draft caller coach contracts are being checked by the board for any typos or omission; if they look good, I'll send those asap to the caller coaches, all of whom have verbally assured me they're interested & available. I've finished creating a first draft of the promotion flyer and am circulating it now to the GCA board for a quick check before full publication. When I have signatures on paper, these flyers can be distributed.
I'm about to contact the GCA's webmaster to make the updates to our site concerning the caller school. I hope to have the content prepared but not yet released pending the signing of the coach contracts.
I still need to get the teaching assistants lined up. I have names to contact, but wanted to get these other items out of the way before proceeding.
As more details of master class get worked out, the flyer & promotional material will be revised. I hope to have that entirely ironed out within the next 1-2 months.
I hope that within 60 days, the school operations for 2013 will be in autopilot mode until next June when the active details kick in. In the interim, I want to start planning as much as is feasible for the 2014 Salt Lake City caller school; in particular I need to think about what to do with the third class at that school.
I'm thinking of surveying the GCA membership for their input. Is there enough interest to re-run another master class? By 2014, it will have been several years since we've had an Advanced class so perhaps there will be sufficient demand for that option. Maybe we should consider an alternative track, like party night/one night stand training. Maybe something else I haven't thought of yet. The sooner we begin debating & discussing, the more time I'll have to perform the prerequisite miracles to make it happen.
So far, so good...!
