AAUP Leadership Training
- Fall 2007 Info
From: "Pat Shaw" <PShaw@aaup.org>
Date: August 1, 2007 2:45:59 PM EDT
Subject: AAUP Fall Training
Dear Colleagues:
Please be informed of this year’s fall training in AAUP’s Washington
DC office, Friday and Saturday, October 26 and 27.
I append more specific information about this year’s event. There is very
little money available to subsidize travel costs so, as we did last year, we
are encouraging state conferences to make it as easy as possible for likely candidates
for the training to attend by helping with the travel cost. The Assembly of State
Conferences picks up the Friday night hotel bill and lunches on Friday and Saturday.
Please spread the word. Last year was, by all accounts I heard from
participants, a smash hit. Please see the attachment, an abbreviated
report of last year’s
session. We have every reason to expect a repeat performance.
Thank you and I hope you are having a fine summer.
Best,
Pat
********
The Assembly of State Conferences (ASC) is sponsoring the second
annual Fall Leadership training on October 26-27, 2007. Twenty new & emerging chapter
and state conference leaders from around the country will come to Washington
DC to meet with AAUP national leaders & staff, learn more about the AAUP,
and exchange ideas they can apply immediately on returning to their home campus.
We will offer the following courses:
· AAUP 101/102: a comprehensive introduction to the Association
· designing and implementing a membership drive—with a special
focus on issues-based outreach
· strategic communication: tips on producing newsletters and websites,
and how to talk to the media about AAUP issues & events
· a workshop on confronting the next legislative crisis: to be determined—in
Fall 2006 this workshop focused on how to fight “Academic Bill of Rights” (ABOR)
legislation at the state level
This training is geared toward newly elected officers, as well as
members who are looking forward to taking a more active role in their
chapter or conference. AAUP staff & leaders will be available
during breaks & meals to answer
individual questions. The ASC will cover the cost of Friday night's
hotel stay and most meals for attendees (except dinner on Friday
night).
