I'd like to give a quick plug for our session at IAFN this year. For those of you attending, we will be doing an all day workshop (PDF) on Saturday, Oct. 24th on program management and leadership development. The workshop will use a mock clinical program case file (given to people in advance) to tackle common issues that develop in the course of running a program. Using a highly interactive small-group approach (facilitated by a faculty person at each table), we will work through problems such as prioritizing in a crisis; budgeting; recruitment/retention; staff evaluation; and strategic planning and benchmarking.
 
The workshop is being capped at 45 participants, so register soon (it's listed as Code 60 under NSVRC Leadership). It should be a fantastic day. And feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
