Fall 2021 Class Update

Candidates - 

Things are coming together more slowly this year for a number of reasons, but we're making progress.  Syllabus, dates, etc. are in good shape.  However, the key stumbling block this year is that we're struggling to find a venue.  We have several initiatives underway to secure a place.  I hope we can close on this in the next couple weeks.

As such, we've hesitated in opening up the registration.  Our plan at the moment is to see what the next week or so brings in terms of venue.  If we don't yet have a place, we'll likely open up registration with the caveat that if the venue is inconvenient for a candidate, he/she can back out, no problem.  

So, at the moment, hang tight.  I'll send another email out early next week with progress report and plan forward.

In the meantime, you can peruse the blogsite to get a picture of the preliminary syllabus, class prep, etc.  See: https://oecsouthbay.blogspot.com/

We'll speak soon,
Bill & the Instructor Team
