Okay, I know it has been awhile and I apologize. Many of you have contacted me about what, if anything, is happening in the way of new programs.
Well, I do have news for you. USDF received an host application from a GMO in Region 3, specifically Georgia. Currently, I am working with the GMO and potential organizer to get some details ironed out but I have hopes to share the news soon.
It would, if approved, start soon (March). If you are interested in the Region 3 program keep your eye out on this blog, the USDF calendar (specifically Region 3) and contact me for updates.
If this rumbling of a program still doesn't help you out contact me and I'll share some ideas to get a program started. You can also check out a previous post on this blog...think it was called "All dressed up and no where to go?"
Contact lprogram@usdf.org with any questions or concerns

The USDF office will be closed December 22nd - 26th and January 1st- 2nd.
Brief Updates about the "L" Program
Convention was a jam-packed week, as those that attended can attest too. It was also very productive for the "L" Program. The "L" Faculty had an extremely productive meeting. Several ideas are being developed and will be moving towards being approved and implemented.
Below are a couple of the proposed ideas, briefly described:
1. Proposed program format change so that Part 1 includes Sessions A, B and C. Then Part 2 would include Sessions D1, D2 and the Final Exam.
2. Proposed opening up Part 1, following the above proposed format change, to all those interested in attending but that may not have the score prerequisites. Those prerequisites would still stand for participating in Part 2.
I'll share with you the new updates and ideas as they are finalized.
There were a few rumblings about "L" Programs being organized that were shared during convention. The general area where most of the interest is centered around Region 1 and 3. I hope to be able to share with you, very soon, approved "L" Programs for those interested.
Any questions and updates on potential programs, contact me at lprogram@usdf.org
