The Paraprofessional Leadership Networking Session will be held in conjunction with the National Resource Center for Paraeducators Conference at the Hilton Palacio Del Rio Hotel in San Antonio, Texas

When

Wednesday, February 29, 2012 from 4:30 – 7:30 PM.

WHERE

Hilton Palacio Del Rio Hotel (ask about the room location when you check in for the conference on May 11).

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This session is open to "State Paraeducator Leaders" as well as International leaders; that is, people who are engaged in activities to promote paraeducator leadership at a variety of levels within their respective states or countries, for example, state staff; state or regional training and TA staff; higher education personnel; persons promoting leadership through involvement in various state or international activities, labor organizations, committees, advisory groups; etc.

In the past this session has been referred to as the “State Paraeducator Leadership Session”. However, due to increased attendance from other countries, we are expanding the invitation to be inclusive of all those coming to our conference. All interested parties may attend.

WHAT WILL WE BE DOING

During our session, representatives from each state will be asked to highlight one major state level accomplishment from which others may benefit. Time permitting, we will also discuss issues with which we are dealing and on which we want input from others. This session will give us a chance to meet others in similar roles at the beginning of the conference to facilitate continued networking throughout conference.

FOOD AVAILABILITY/WHAT DOES IT COST:

There is no fee for registration and attendance at the State Leadership Session. Attendees have the option to order a meal, if they prefer, for the cost of $18. This will be a light salad/soup buffet dinner. If you are interested in participating in the dinner, please indicate and make payment upon registration for the session.
