Conference Updates

Ms. Bradshaw added that during a recent meeting between members of the Exec. Comm., Prof. Cap. co-chairs, and OSP representatives (Patrick McCoy and Drake Maynard), OSP expressed a need to coordinate the scheduling of trainings throughout the year with NCACDSS such that they could accomplish training they really needed to – such as qualifications training, FMLA, Employee Relations, etc. They expressed difficulties they were experiencing in trying to get this type of training scheduled around NCACDSS conferences/regional meetings/etc. An agreement was made to work together in getting all desired trainings offered. A consensus from the group was to coordinate dates and locations such that OSP would set up trainings they needed to a day before and in the same location as meetings throughout the year…such as the Regional Mtgs., Personnel Conferences, Institutes, etc.
