Welcome New Candidates

Candidates - 

Welcome to OEC SouthBay 2018.  We're pleased to have you and looking foward to a great class.  A few things in prep for class:

- Have a look at the "Course Materials & Preparation" tab on the class blog.  You've got some runway before class starts, but the earlier you can start on those actions, the better.  In particular, getting started early on the book will pay dividends.  It take some effort to get through.
- As for the book, many candidates are finding it useful to get the electronic version.  Primary benefit is the search function.  At the end of the day, however, it's you choice: paper or electrons.
- We have some candidates with quite a long drive to class.  As we get closer to class I'll connect you all so you can work out carpooling.
- Finally, as you read in the registration instructions on the blog, in addition to your registration for this class, you'll need to join the NSP & register as an OEC candidate.  Officially you need to have this done by the end of class, but best to get this out of the way beforehand.  

In the meantime, shoot me a note if you have any questions.  And, if you haven't already, subscribe to the blog to keep up with class announcements.  https://oecsouthbay.blogspot.com/

We'll reconnect as we get closer to class.
