Hi folks. It has been a while, so time to catch up on what's been happening over the past few months. First, last month I was honered to receive the Professional Distinguished Interpreter award from Region 4 - NAI. Thanks to NAI for that wonderful honor and for a great conference. I am completing several interpretive plans for The Metro Parks of the Toledo Area, and was invited to be a keynote speaker for a interpretation conference in Mexico City. We also just finishsed our Army Corps of Engineers Interpretive Services 4-day course this past week. I am still working with Prof. Ju-hee Lee from Deagu University in Korea on planning/designing a 5-year interpretive training program for the National Arboretums of Korea. InterpNEWS, our internationala heritage interpretation e-magazine is now received by over 150,000 interpreters, agencies and organizations in 26 countries. I also updated my web site and got an additional web address: www.interpretation.expert. And finally received my recertification for Certified Interpretive Planner. Start working on the Interpretive Systems Plan for Toledo Metroparks, and we have two proposals in for some huge interpretive planning/training projects in India with my UK partner Heritage Destination Consultating.
More later... hope you are enjoying summer. jv
