Welcome to Spring! As you receive this edition of the NLP Observer the flowers and leaves on trees are starting to sprout. This is much the same as what has been happening behind the scenes with the ABNLP. We are springing to attention all over the place! Those of you who have ventured to our Sydney Forums in the evenings or Melbourne Forums in the mornings know that the changes we've made in our monthly events speak for themselves. We have a new venue in Melbourne which allows us to accommodate more people, we are coming up to our sixth Forum in Sydney, each with over 30 people, and growing! We are currently looking at ways to disseminate the information from Forums to members who are not able to attend the meetings so there is benefit for all!
 
And speaking of benefits, contacting all of the companies in our Partners Program to help increase member awareness and build more benefits for you. Do you realise that with the Partners Program you have access to over $3000 of savings each year!? Have a look at the website to see how you can benefit - and if there are any companies you'd like to be partners let us know and we'll approach them to become partners! Each month we will be showcasing one of our partners to you in the Observer and in the Forum.
 
I was just doing some NLP training with NLP Comprehensive in Colorado (the first NLP training company in the world) and I was talking to Steve Andreas about the ABNLP and what we are doing. He was very excited and pleased that so much effort has gone into the development of requirements, standards and growth of the NLP community in Australia. What we have truly is unique in the world of NLP and we should all be proud of the organisation to which we belong!
 
As the world blooms around us, the Board and Committee members are working hard behind the scenes to continue to create a great ABNLP for us all to take part in. I hope to see you at one of our events soon! In the meantime, enjoy the spring of spring!
