Registration will begin at 10:30am, and I’ll send out directions and a map to the venue later (which is half way between the train and bus stations in Carlow).

The training event is also open to information service providers, like CICs based in the Southeast, and will take place from 11am to 1pm, focusing on the following:

1. 2010 IBC Renewal Process
2. Citizenship Application Process

The latter area of the training will complement a recent round of trainings on citizenship that the ICI have delivered, in that it won’t go over all the same areas again, but will focus primarily on the actual application form and application process.

After lunch, I’m suggesting that we hold a brief Southeast Regional Meeting from 2:00 – 3:30pm with the following in mind:

§         Update in relation to the II-RIS merger process to form “The Integration Centre”

§         Update in relation to the main programme areas in our new strategic plan

§         General discussion/ Q & A re merger, new organisation and new strategic plan

§         Updates from member groups around upcoming events.

I know we usually have meeting on Saturday’s, but hope most of you can come to both the training and this meeting on Friday 14^th May.
