Session Ideas:
Budgeting in line with the current economy and your boards 10 year projection model that was set 5 years ago. This is a very real challenge.
Simple ways to stay in touch on a personal level with your employees when you have a full schedule. (Ruby Newel Legner?)
Field trips for park programs: This would be a great session if we could get a few people to collaborate field trips that work with flexible enrollment, are cheap, entertain multiple age ranges, and a listing of recommended transportation services. A 45 minute power session on this would be awesome.
Handy resources for the multi-tasking supervisor. A session that provides websites and resources ….lets say anything like the current CPI, per diem, quick reference sites on state and federal employment law addendums/changes, ice breaker ideas, team building ideas, on-line coupons for program food supplies….etc. A 60 minute power session on something like this that offers a schmorgusboard of credited web resources and agencies for supervisors that are working with anything from the budget, to writing training manuals and policies, researching new classes or service ideas, meeting with DCFS and social workers, composing a board report, or simply just want to lend craft ideas or the latest fitness trends to their employees could be quite useful! Sessions offered seem to be very specific but positions in this field require tremendous dexterity. A session to support this dynamic alone would be great.
A session on grants for communities that aren’t demographically challenged. Where can you look? What can you do? It would be great to have an educated expert give tips on where to find resources for communities that aren’t considered impoverished because of their demographics, but have plenty of people that need help and can’t get it. What is the key here?
