COP LEARNING AGENDA: LEADING ACROSS THE GENERATIONS Heading link
Posted: August 29th, 2011
The Learning Agenda Item that was ranked as the #1 priority is Leading Across the Generations. Below is the information we collected about this item. What are you already doing in this area and what ideas do you have to move us forward with this agenda item?! This is actually the small group discussion that had the largest number of participants and most diverse group of people! I started with an action step that we actively try to do here at UIC with all of our MCH events. What other ideas do you have or what are you currently doing?
