Does your organization make staff development a Number 1 priority? Three leaders will discuss why professional development is a vital part of their organizational culture and strategy. They will talk about:
- How a well-structured development program helps recruit and retain staff
- How to get both staff and board buy-in on making training a priority, if not an imperative
- How to create a program that develops skills needed at their organization now and in the future
Join this roundtable to learn why and how your organization should develop your staff’s skills and put them on a trajectory for success.
