2001 Annual Meeting
San Marcos

Continuing Education

As in the past, continuing education will include multiple classes taught concurrently. Human Dimensions will be taught by T. O. Smith - T. O. is going to give a brief synopsis of his job and then tantalize our brain cells with a provocative presentation on "Valuation of the Aquatic Environment". Shirley Thompson of Creative Services, Austin HQ, is putting together a presentation on "Audio/visual planning and preparation". She will cover popular specifics on "how to make a presentable figure from a table full of data", "how to present statistics in a simple manner" (little fishes work for me here), "choosing appropriate backgrounds", and finally "how to add pictures without breaking the data storage bank". I don't know how many of you TPWDers have used creative services, but Shirley does an exemplary job. You wont want to miss this one. Last, but far from least, Captain Steve Pritchett of TPWD Law Enforcement Division who head up the recently created Environmental Crime Unit (ECU) will present a class on what the ECU is and a little history about this group and how they operate. He will also cover criteria for making an environmental crime and follow-up action. Steve will also entertain questions. We probably all come across incidents that could classify as environmental crimes, but may not know how to report them or to whom. This class is designed to bring us up to snuff so our observations don't go unacted upon. Continuing education will begin at 2:00 pm on Sunday, January 21 and conclude at 4:00 pm. Each of the three classes will be presented twice, allowing you to attend your choice of two classes. Classes will be held in the Aquarena Center (Spring Lake Complex). Immediately following continuing education and in the same general area will be tours of Aquarena Springs in the glass-bottom-boat. And after the glass-bottom-boat comes mixer time.....all in the same area.....education, tour, and fellowship.
