The membership committee are working towards a leadership event in Vancouver on April 23rd 2009. If you are interested or know someone who is ... pass it on!
VANCOUVER BC.,CANADA 23 APRIL 2009
IAP2 Members, Affiliate and Chapter representatives and members eager to have leadership opportunities are encouraged to attend this exciting professional development opportunity. The IAP2 leadership workshop will coincide with a meeting of the IAP2 International Board, 24th – 26th April, AND the BC Chapter Symposium on the 24th April. Attendees are encouraged to stay on for the 24th and the morning of the 25th to participate in these two other events.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE GATHERING?
To bring together Affiliate, Chapter and emerging IAP2 leaders with International Board members to:
· exchange information between the Board, Affiliate, Chapters, and members
· develop skills to foster our membership support structures
· translate IAP2’s strategic goals and objectives into local action
· foster a sense of community among representatives of our Affiliate, Chapters, and members.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
We are seeking a strong mix of representatives from Chapters and the Affiliate, people trying to create or rebuild Chapters, and individual members especially from North America. Several International Board members will join us, and special guests will be invited to lead some of the sessions.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
You will be invigorated and challenged and you will have many opportunities to build your leadership skills and capabilities – all of which will be valuable to you in your role as an IAP2 leader and in your everyday professional responsibilities.
WHAT ARE THE COSTS?
Thanks to our primary sponsor, TransLink (Canada), there is no registration fee for the workshop and participants will have free local public transportation. Affiliates and Chapters are encouraged to consider this a high priority and seek local funds to pay for representatives’ travel and lodging. The IAP2 Membership Committee is also working to secure additional sponsors, and may be able to provide a limited amount of scholarship support especially for participants from outside North America.
