[Dutch-chapter] Call for Proposals

NASAGA Activities Book
Proposal to Contribute

The NASAGA Activities Book, to be published by Wiley, an imprint of  
Pfeiffer, will be a “first of its kind” book for two reasons.  First,  
the book will be written by NASAGAns for NASAGA and will be sold to  
anyone who trains, facilitates, coaches, or considers themselves an  
educator.  Secondly, the book’s focus will not only be on the  
activity itself but on at least 2 variations of the activity and an  
extensive debriefing of the activity and its variations.  Judee Blohm  
and Dave Piltz are the volume editors.  All royalties will go to NASAGA.
