Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the summer edition of Expression, SOTO-Australasia's e-bulletin. Happy New Year and welcome to our new members for 2013. To the continuing SOT family, thank you for your support and faith in me by re-electing me for another term as President. This year I plan to guide SOT in Australia in a direction of growth and establish quality consistency. With the assistance of your new Board, 2013 will bring fantastic educational events, and all the support you need to develop your SOT knowledge. All the events for 2013 are up on the website already so plan your yearly seminar schedule now.
beautiful location for annual convention 2012
Our Annual Convention for 2012 was held at Salt in Kingscliff NSW which turned out to be a beautiful location. The experience of Jesper Dahl was not lost on the audience when he presented his material on Extremity adjusting. It was presented in a straight forward hands-on approach that I was able to incorporate into my adjusting on Monday morning with ease. Learning extremity adjusting was actually fun and exciting and the feedback from the rest of the delegates was just as praising.
marc pick returns in 2013
We have secured the return of Marc Pick to Sydney for our Annual Convention in November to share his masterful understanding of SOT, neurology and physiology. Not to be missed!
mid-year retreat in the snow!
Mid Year retreat this year is in Queenstown NZ. The proposed date is August 16th and 17th, depending on venue availability which should be confirmed this week. This should make a pleasant chilly change from the usual bikini and zinc cream affair from previous years.
long serving co-ordinator calls it a day!
The big change for 2013 will be that our long-standing coordinator Averil Crebbin has decided to move on to seek other ventures and some personal rest and relaxation. It has been 14 years since Averil took the role over from Helen Cutting? and her commitment to the position has been exemplary. She has been instrumental in the success of SOTO-A and has willingly accepted change throughout her years of service. I have very much enjoyed working alongside Averil over the past 12 years and her calming and casual demeanour will be hard to replace. She will be sorely missed but we wish her all the best in her next endeavour. If you know of anyone who may be interested in fulfilling this role please encourage them to send their CV to the Board. Interviews will commence in February.
Yours in Health,
Darren.
