The Professional Development Committee coordinates professional development workshops throughout the year. Our topics are based on trends in the industry, and more importantly, input taken from participant evaluations: we do listen to you! Members may use up to two membership vouchers per year to bring a non-member colleague free of charge to qualifying workshops.

Strategies for Developing Creative and Engaging Trainings for Volunteers Workshop Description:
This workshop will review basic training techniques and provide strategies for updating your current trainings and presentations. Participants will explore the unique learning needs of adults, how to create engaging and effective trainings, facilitating vs. instructing, and how to avoid “death by PowerPoint.” Attendees are encouraged to participate and share their own best practices with the group. The facilitator will also incorporate interactive exercises to help attendees practice skills and hone new approaches to training. This workshop is for anyone who currently facilitates or will facilitate trainings for volunteers, co-workers and/or key stakeholders.
