homework

Hello all,

Looking forward to seeing you all next week.
Working out all the final details and will have a complete schedule to you within the next few days.
In an effort to have the round robin session on day one of the conference be the most effective use of everyone’s time, I’d like you to provide the following information by this Friday 2/22:
We’re looking for this information from each attendee, not one per organization for those sending more than one person.
BRAG:
Your biggest success in the last year – (for example, eliminated long term debt, major corporate sponsorship, operated in the black, added 3 staff, launch of a new program, etc)

BITCH:
Your biggest failure or shortcoming in the last year (be frank here, this is where we can best learn from one another)

BRAIN:
One program, idea or success of ours that could be replicated by other APASO organizations

We will send this information to everyone on 2/25 so that they have a chance to give it a glance before the conference begins…then we can spend time at the round robin drilling down into specifics with each organization rather than simply reporting out.

Additionally,

If you would like to share any of the following information with the group, please send attachments to this email address and we will distribute to the other attendees.
(a secondary goal is to house this information online so that other APASO organizations can access it electronically, but we’ll discuss this during the conference)
