1. Welcome! This is the ninth posting of the ACT in New England List (if you missed the previous postings, you can read them here). I usually send these every two months but am sending this update due to the number of ACT trainings in New England this spring and summer. This edition will be abbreviated and will focus on the current schedule of trainings.
The primary purpose of this list is to inform New Englanders of upcoming ACT training opportunities in the area. A secondary purpose is to support the budding ACT community here. If you hear about any ACT training in New England, please let me know so I can get the info up on the site and out to the list ASAP. And if you are having a training of your own, please let me know and I will help to create a listing for you.
