This fall, CCAE is happy to introduce Strategy Labs. These virtual member-led communities of practice allow for deep dives into specific topics and provide unique opportunities to ask, share, and learn from your peers.
Strategy Labs will feature a brief introduction or presentation and be followed by timed break-out discussions allowing smaller groups to engage on the subject.
Hosted in Zoom, these 90-minute sessions will:
- Allow for in-depth conversation on specific challenges, problems, or common concerns
- Provide a forum for sharing best practices and lessons-learned
- Inform CCAE on the learning needs of specific audiences for future professional development
- Deepen the connection among CCAE members across the country.
CCAE Strategy Lab sessions will not be recorded, shared or available to anyone who is not present during the live session. CCAE is committed to creating a safe sharing space and all participants will be bound by the CCAE Event Code of Conduct.
Prior to the end of the first session, each Strategy Lab group will be asked to determine the desired frequency for ongoing meetings.
