Are you looking for a program for your Local Association? Have you considered one on MTNA Certification? There is an abundance of information on the MTNA website (www.mtna.org). Someone could research the topic and/or a Nationally Certified teacher from your group could talk about his/her experience.
I am also available to travel to speak on the topic, if you would prefer. Just contact me at nbspahr01@comcast.net or 765-438-6435.
