CMA Events & Training

The web site has been moved from the Chile host site to one in Bolivia, so updates to the web pages can be posted quickly and directly by the organizers. New web site: http://www.worldrangercongress.org

Arrangements with the newly available PayPal service in Bolivia are taking longer than anticipated, so the early registration deadline has been extended to May 15.
Registration fees:
• Until 15 May 2009 $us 800
• From 15 May to 31 July 2009 $us 1.000
• From 01 August 2009 to 01 November 2009 $us 1.200
We already have nearly 70 delegates registered with another 40 confirmed with funding from sponsoring agencies. As soon as PayPal is available I anticipate registration will be brisk.

Reminder: Abstract papers for presentations are due May 10. Information is on the web site: http://www.worldrangercongress.org/envio_en.html. Please encourage your colleagues to consider submitting proposals for presentations. Once those proposals have been reviewed, the program will be developed with more details.

Carola and the organisers have put their energy into gaining the political support of the Ministry and in gaining sponsorships, moving the web site, and contracting with the hotel, conference center, and PayPal. We will soon get regular reports so everyone knows the progress being made with more details of the program.
Best wishes to all,
Deanne
