Training Sessions for January 2007 Science & Industry Days - Traverse City

[<burrowsm@windsor.ijc.org>]

All - In response to a request for more detailed information on training, I am forwarding the draft list of training topics for sessions being held the afternoon of January 23rd and morning of Jan 24th at the GLMA.  We are working on a session on hydraulics, and also a session on practical vessel stability consideration, that will be given either as a plenary session or special session depending on availability.  Please note that we are planning on small groups and repeated sessions so attendees can attend several sessions and have a quality training experience.  The cost should be minimal, along the same lines as last year.  More detailed information will be sent out as soon as it is available.  Remember this year the conference will run until around noon on Friday, January 26th - cheers - Mark
