Hello mdleber,

What certification would that be?

I doubt that all Washington state MSAR units have someone
monitoring this list (MSAR-Riders).  Do you have contact info
for all the Washington state units on the MSAR web directory
(http://www.ibiblio.org/msar/units/index.html)?

How was the Washington state SAR conference last month?  It
is a huge one;  we SAR heads in other states all admire your
community for it!  By the way, the organizers of the 2007
conference are calling for feedback to improve 2007 over 2006:

Now would be a good time to make a pitch for MSAR-specific
training, or any other conference issues of interest;  send
your feedback to pcsarweb@yahoo.com (the web page includes
no contact instructions) and/or post it here, as appropriate.

As a frequent SAR conference instructor myself, and occasional
planner of medium size (200-250 attending) conferences, I am
always keen to learn more about putting on a good conference.
