This is a special workshop day with Directors, Supervisors, ELCC Program leaders in mind. Often when attending a conference with your team it is difficult to concentrate on your needs as a leader and to take in the knowledge and information you are seeking. In recognizing the many hats you wear as pedagogical leaders we provide this event to allow you the time and space to do your own networking and learning! We hope you enjoy all that the day has to offer you!
