Retreat: Schedule

A full, detailed schedule is now available, with a few additions and minor changes expected as we get closer to the Retreat. Here is an overview of the schedule and some of the special activities planned.

Overview

What You Will Learn

The Professional Development Team is finalizing some details with the major sessions set as seen in the full schedule. The schedule includes a selection of roundtable and plenary sessions that will address key issues you have suggested. We will also address issues of personal wellness, communication with new colleagues, roster stewardship, evolution of diversity issues, and more.

We will also have a session where representatives from APAP, CAPACOA, Western Arts Alliance, Arts Midwest, South Arts, Arts Northwest, and IPAY will update us all on the opportunities they can offer over the coming months, including conference status.

• Kindred Spirits: Those of like business functions—all agents and managers, all presenters, all artists, and the like—talking about those issues unique to your group.
• And More: Incorporating as many of your great ideas as we can, our time will be spent effectively and efficiently.
