"Creativity in Planning Your Professional Development"

When planning your professional development opportunities in these uncertain times there is a need to think beyond the traditional.  We will address professional development opportunities that can meet a variety of your needs (e.g., time availability, knowledge preservation versus advancement, skills demonstration, etc.) and that are beyond the more traditional (e.g., formal education, etc.). We will explore the degree of control you can have in identifying your professional development opportunities.
