D/FW OD Network
Annual Program Planning Meeting
Our November Meeting is a facilitated event designed to collectively answer an important question: “What programs do we most want for our 2015 DFW OD Network Monthly Meetings?”
Each of us will have the opportunity to recommend ideas and participate in deciding the topics for our 2015 programming. So — what topics are most important, meaningful and relevant for you? Here are some questions to help stimulate your thinking:
- What topic in the OD field are you most interested in?
- What information do you need to know in order to stay current?
- What is a strategic issue that you would like to learn more about?
- What is a major challenge that you are facing in your work?
- What is a new program idea that you would like our chapter to try?
- What information would help you succeed in your work?
Our 2014 programs were remarkable! Let’s make our 2015 programs the best ever! Bring your ideas, energy and a spirit of collaboration! Consume copious amounts of pizza and non-alcoholic beverages! Network with your professional colleagues! Learn more about what’s going on in our profession! Learn new facilitation methods and techniques! (Note: This event is for everyone, not just ‘the planning team’!)
