This is going to be a lot of fun. Participants in this year's Leadership Development Conference will be offering their input about what they'd like to see their state professional organization offer. Through a creative, interactive process of rotating through brainstorming stations, we'll emerge energized from the morning's activities with 6 presentations to offer the MEMO Board about what is important to media professionals in the state regarding advocacy; professional development; networking & communication with peers/community; technology integration; collaboration & communication within the educational setting; standards/curriculum/lessons/scope and sequence; and technology integration.The Board will set their annual priorities in Board meetings the following day based, in large part, on the input from these impassioned morning sessions.
After lunch, we'll launch into breakout sessions built around these topics and visit vendor displays. We'll wrap it up with a motivational culminating activity. Keynote speaker Shannon McClintock Miller will open up the event with an exhilarating presentation entitled "Be the Change You Want to See in the World," the inspiration for the conference title, from Mohandas Gandhi's famous quote.
This is your opportunity to "Be the Change" that you would like to see in your profession. Join the conversation now, and continue at the conference on July 6. You'll be glad you did.
