You referred to the Maine Summer Institute. The founder and sponsor of these Institutes is Sue Stableford, Director of the Health Literacy Center at the University of New England. Our other co-trainer was Wendy Mettger, health literacy consultant and trainer out of Takoma Park, MD. The Institutes were offered every summer for the last 12 years. Sue posts information about the upcoming Institutes on this listserv. You're right, we all do presentations and workshops on this critical issue. I had already contacted Martha so we're off and running. Thank you, again, for your post. For others who may want it, my contact information is below. Feel free to contact me if you would like Sue or Wendy's email addresses as well. Audrey Riffenburgh, M.A. President, Riffenburgh & Associates P.O.
