Gregory, Thanks for your interest in organizing a training. TechRocks has a limited (and excellent) network of trainers and consultants; however, no one currently is available in the northeast region. We recently brought the one trainer in the Northeast, Clif Graves, onto TechRocks staff to work on the development of ebase v2, so he won't be available as a trainer right now. I recommend that you contact the trainers in the DC area listed on the ebase website (www.ebase.org/help/) and see if they would travel to provide training outside their area. We will be working to expand our network of trainers, and this will certainly include the northeast. But in the meantime, exploring the list of existing trainers would be your best bet.
