IACVA proudly announces the formation of a new Chapter in Australia, headed by Morris Kaplan of Rose Bay, New South Wales (outside of Sidney!). Although he will be unable to attend the World Council meeting in Dusseldorf (November) he has been active with us at headquarters for several years as we have attended various world events in Australia (as well as throughout Asia) together. We are currently working on a schedule for CVA training classes within Australia, but cannot announce them quite yet. Please drop him a note to introduce yourself if you will be working or traveling in Australia (Morris Kaplan, Morris.Kaplan@gwo.net.au ).
