We proudly invite you to our 2009 annual international conference, “Navigating the Currents of Change.” This year’s theme highlights our interest in providing practical solutions to current challenges faced by our members. The conference is always a mix of stimulating presentations and engaging activities which facilitate individual problem-solving and networking in true NCSPOD fashion. Presentations will be featured in the following categories: Professional Development, Staff Development, Faculty and Instructional Development, Program and Organizational Development and Sustainability.
Two major keynote speakers, an interactive exhibit hall, over 50 concurrent workshops spread among eight sessions, an educational excursion, GIFTS sessions, special interest get-togethers, regional networking meetings, two receptions, an awards banquet --- the list of conference highlights goes on and on.
Veterans will attest to the ROI associated with our conferences where you will gain immediate ideas and resources to put into use. If you can only attend one conference this year, make sure it is this one!
