Most of the workshops listed are the optional workshops on Thurs and Sunday. Each branch (alumnae, collegiate, recruitment, finance, panhellenic, etc) has a room reserved for them during the times listed in the registration packet. ACCs discussed last summer *requiring* some chapters to attend some workshops. We also picked the workshops we thought would be helpful and it looks like all of our suggestions made it. Since I was told not to make plans to leave prior to 1 pm on Sunday and to plan on arriving Wednesday, I believe I'm running some of those optional workshops. The ones we suggested were the Ritual workshop, Advisor training, CIMS, Goal setting, and Effective Communication, which will focus a lot on reporting and how to make sure we know all the great things the chapters are doing.
I know we have a VST breakfast on Thursday morning and a lunch for VST who donated $250 or more to the Foundation on Thursday, so I think most of the optional workshops will be in the afternoon that day. If they arrive by noon or so (easy to do with the time difference), they could come to Thursday's workshops. NOW, in looking at flights, if I leave after 1 pm CA time on Sunday, I won't get home until like 2 am Eastern time. I'm thinking Sunday would be my best day to add on a day. However, how do I get to the airport if I leave on Monday since the shuttle isn't running Monday... details to figure out yet. I read online that cab fare is about $45 to the airport, so if someone else stays too and we can split that, it would be the same cost as the shuttle. I also like the idea of hanging out at the pool and spa on Sunday after everything is over, to unwind and make sure I'm de-stressed before going back home.
Decisions, details, decisions, details...
