No apologies. 2. Planning Events: Chartership Programme. 06/07 had been the first year that the running of 10 chartership workshops had been undertaken by the group. This had worked well and so a similar programme will be undertaken in 07/08. The cost and amount of places will stay the same. It is possible for a HEI to book a place but split the workshop between two delegates. Certificates have been issued for this year's Chartership series and will be sent to those attending the entire programme in 07/08. All workshops to have a 4-6pm slot, excluding Introduction to Chartership which will run 3-5pm.
