With the turmoil of the last year, the needs of your members and their employers have probably changed. That means your online educational offerings need to adapt as well if you want to remain relevant and competitive. But before you toss everything out the window, join this session for a deep-dive into evaluating your education strategy in a pandemic.
Our agenda:
The first hour: High level framing of the issue. Learn what the data is saying and key concepts, including the shape of the current environment and the importance of this issue within it. Q & A discussion.
The second hour: A case study interview with special guest(s) who have successfully navigated this issue, with Q & A
The third hour: Now that you've done a deep-dive on the issue and heard examples of successful implementation, it's time to collaborate with your peers and plot your solutions. Participate in a break-out discussion around this topic in your organization. Hear what's working (or not!) for others. All solutions will be collected and shared with attendees after the event.
You can also expect several interactive polls, breaks for you to check on family/work, and the opportunity to connect with fellow attendees.

Any senior member of your team may register and last-minute transfers are no problem. Life is complicated enough right now, we want this to be easy.
