Problems/Challenges in meeting Committee Goals:  Communication regarding Regional Seminars varies depending on the Region. As Regional Seminars Chair, I plan to schedule a meeting in late March to address this issue. The AHIA website for Regional Seminars should help as well.

 We need to ensure that we have programs with a mix of Practitioners and Consultants, so that one group/person does not dominate the event.
