⏳ Just One Week Away! ⏳ I’m excited to invite you to join me in San Diego at the 2024 ACSA Leadership Summit, where I’ll be leading a session designed to help you create more engaging and productive meetings.

Whether you’re leading a team, facilitating a workshop, or managing a group discussion, this session will provide you with practical tools and strategies to make every meeting more focused, collaborative, and impactful. 🌟 Session Title: Head, Heart and Hand: A Simple Facilitation Framework to Nurture Engagement 📅 Date & Time: November 15, 2024 @ 1:45 PM – 2:45 PM PST 📍 Location: Sapphire 410AB (4th floor) Dr. Teresa López AlonzoPrudence Harris-Minton, Ed.D.Priscilla RodriguezWestEdMatthew CliffordLauryn FullertonAlicia BowmanRochelle Herring, Ed.D.Melissa A.
