Annual Conference is Virtual this Year!
Virtual Summer Conference 2020
Michigan Community Action's annual Summer Conference has gone virtual! The conference will be July 31 - Aug 14 2020. We start things off with a virtual commencement for our 30 colleagues graduating as the 2019-2020 cohort of Leadership Development Institute Graduates on July 31 from 12:30 pm-2 pm. The recognition of this professional development milestone will feature an inspirational commencement address from Dr. Joyce Marter, renowned clinical psychologist, author, and motivational speaker and other special guests. To sign up to attend the graduation ceremony please register here. (Graduates can also use this link for family members to attend). On Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the weeks of August 3rd and August 10th from 11AM - 2PM, there will be a morning speaker and two breakout sessions. There will also be daily breaks when attendees can visit the virtual marketplace to learn more about our vendors and sponsors. We are excited to roll out the Peer Groups at this year's conference, where colleagues can share ideas, triumphs, and challenges to spark conversation and learn new ideas from each other. In addition to the live virtual experience, recordings of all of the live sessions, presentation slide decks and handouts will be accessible to conference attendees electronically.
The conference agenda is currently under development, but it will include a mixture of general and breakout sessions featuring speakers and topics that will resonate with CAA staff and board members who are interested in improving agency performance and their own personal effectiveness. In addition to the scheduled sessions and events that make up the conference, there are always ample opportunities for learning from peers and colleagues who share similar interests and responsibilities at their agencies.
