What We Gain with our presence

We grow our individual capacities as professionals
We grow as members of a larger community.
We improve the whole field of education, not only in the area of diversity!

Before next slide, offer overview of agenda: "We'll explore a series of questions which will help each of us arrive at an intention for next steps. I hope that some of your will be willing to share your intention with us."

What are you excited to share with your colleagues?

Given your experience, special interests and variety of strengths, what would would be your dream workshop or presentation to offer others?

Begin with your special interests and go from there. There are more conferences than anyone can imagine. To find the right ones may require some extra research and lots of asking around. Also think broadly. across and beyond disciplines.
