Re: VDA at 90 was KillieTalk Digest V3 #1358

I have to agree that we should make them available as slides, cd and 
download.  There are a lot of great lectures/presentations that could be put 
on a cd or download for members who are unable to attend the conventions.  
Local clubs could help with the effort either by purchasing cds for loan to 
members and putting the presentation togather.  A lot of companied develop 
classes on cd.  I think we could put togather a cd to include in a new 
member packet to let them see how the "newbe fish" can be raised.  It would 
be some work to put togather, but I think the benefit would be much greater 
than the cost.  I'd be happy to put some time into the project.

The AKA and local clubs have a wealth of information that can help the 
members and the organizations both.  How many people would pay to have all 
the lectures at a convention on CD?  Even if you attend, you can't see them 
all, and this way you can.

Does the AKA have a technology comittee to decide what to direction to take?
