New Dates: July 14-15, Proactive Planning & Evaluation Training, Los Angeles

Join Enlace in Los Angeles, July 14-15, 2008, for our Team Leaders Series Training(formerly Part II of our Supervisors and Leadership Workshop Series) geared to help progressive non-profit organizations and unions by developing the capacity to continually improve the skills of member leaders, staff supervisors, and organizers.

The curriculum will include: how to facilitate a proactive planning process and how to effectively evaluate an event, action, or program in order to better prepare for the next stage of your work.

“I highly recommend the Enlace Training “Planning and Evaluation of Programs.” This training helps you identify where the struggle is in your work plan and then it helps you figure out what (your goal, your approach, your calendar) needs to change to make your plan healthy, workable, and in service to your mission. The instructors are excellent at tailoring their process for different types of organizations and people. I keep returning to the ideas I developed in this training as I make decisions about where to put resources.” --Anne Pernick, Coordinator of the Business Ethics Network (BEN)

The proactive planning process focuses on:
• In-depth planning of programs or activities that ensures nothing falls through the cracks
• Identifying internal and/or structural changes that are necessary to make in order for the program to be successful
• Accessing the energy that moves people and focusing it into the desired direction of the organization
• Evaluating the plan to make sure that it is realistic and will function effectively

Learning to use these processes will help both new and experienced leaders and supervisors become better at planning, ensuring accountability, and evaluating the work of the organization.

The goal of these workshops is to give each participant training and practical experience with skills and techniques tailored to her/his own work as a leader or supervisor of staff. Each participant will be interviewed prior to the training, so that the training content will reflect the dilemmas and issues that organizations and their leaders are experiencing. Participants will have the opportunity to share ideas and experiences. The training also includes a one-hour follow-up consultation with an Enlace staff trainer.

The cost of the training is $250 for non-affiliates of Enlace and $200 for affiliates.  Lunch and materials will be provided.  Location TBA.
