STAFF REPORT
Associate Director
Lisa Brochu

October 2006

Certification
The survey mentioned in last month’s staff report did not go out as planned; however, it will be completed in the coming month. As we continue the internal audit and update of the certification database, letters were sent to all individuals who have not recertified when due to determine why they had not recertified and to remind them to do so. The letter will be followed up by a phone call if necessary. This approach has yielded several recertifications from people who had simply forgotten or previously ignored the e-mail reminder.

Tim and I taught a Host Trainers class in Portland, Oregon, followed by a CIT class in Newport, Oregon, followed by a CIP class in Fort Collins. All were well-attended and have led to invitations for additional classes and speaking engagements on behalf of NAI.

Here are the latest figures on the certification program.

International
We have prepared the budget for 2007 without a Beijing office. It has become apparent that opening such an office will require start-up funding from an outside source, so the business plan for that office has been included as an addendum to the 2007 NAI business plan instead of being incorporated into it.

The first deadline is approaching for IWH registration. When that deadline passes (mid-November), we will begin posting the numbers for IWH 2007 on the website.

Contracts & Speaking Engagements
Tim and I spent the last week of September in Arkansas and Cleveland, where we spoke to 70 Arkansas state park superintendents and administrative staff, and then did a two-day consult for Cleveland Metroparks as a followup to the June CIP class.
