We’ll be in touch later this year when the schedule for the first CSEP Subject Matter Experts item writing conclave is being established. As you and I discussed last month, we would like you to be involved in that meeting, as your experiences with the CSEP committee these past few years will be extremely valuable in helping the “newbies” sort through the methodology for item writing and adding to the substantial body of work that the CSEP Committee has assembled for the new exam. “ Your assistance with” our goal to get the new exam accredited by a third-party accreditation organization, “put together” Subject Matter Experts in small groups, ”and” to add to the question bank over the next couple of years, is a key step in making that longstanding dream a reality.

Hi Debbie,
Many thanks for letting me sit in on your class Saturday. I learned a great deal and appreciate the book on napkin folding! As I told my class the previous week, knowledge of etiquette is so valuable. It’s practical, no matter what industry.
Thanks again for a good class! See you on the 15th.
