Thanks to our connection with EDFUND through the Financial Aid Office, we are able to offer a staff development workshop entitled “Building Teams for Your Future,” March 26, 1:30-3:30, CF 452.  This is a very timely offering, especially in light of the call that has just gone out for volunteers to form a Staff Advisory Team (deadline March 23).  The workshop will cover:

Defining teams
How teams benefit an organization
Being passionate about what we do
Defining the difference between teams and groups
Avoiding team mistakes
Developing team culture
Transforming your organization
Importance of attitude
Becoming multi-functional
Pulling it all together – building a bridge to success
