SUMMER LEADERSHIP AUGUST 1

The ECOEA Summer Leadership Workshop is scheduled for Thursday, August 1, at the Courtyard Marriott at Belden Village. There are two afternoon sessions and two evening sessions. Members may sign up for both an afternoon and evening session, or one of the two. Dinner is included with your reservation. There is a $10 registration fee which is refunded upon your arrival. The fee is forfeited if you are a no-show in order to offset the cost of your dinner.

The first afternoon session is the OEA Treasurers’ Workshop led by OEA Secretary-Treasurer Tim Myers. EVERY local is required/encouraged to have their treasurer or a representative in attendance. Tim is also willing to do an evening Quicken training if interest is shown. Please indicate on your reservation. The second afternoon session will be a training for Building Reps led by LRC Allison Roberts. This is a great opportunity to receive formal training for existing or newly-elected Building Reps so they are ready to go at the beginning of school!

After the dinner break, the first evening session will be a timely session featuring OEA Attorney Kathleen McKinley about the legal aspects of OTES.  The second session is designed for your local’s leadership team. The Leadership Roundtable will be facilitated by LRC Lavonne Lobert-Edmo,  and local presidents from Newcomerstown, Janel Travis, and from Rittman, Ed Sims. The Roundtable gives local leaders an opportunity to network, get ideas for FCPE, new teacher activities, officer responsibilities, and a chance to refresh and rethink what you are doing at your local. A third session for Quicken training will be added for treasurers if interest is shown.

To register use the link above under workshops, send in your deposit check, and mark your calendar for August 1. We hope to see you there!
