Hi Darylen (and membership),
Thank you for giving voice to some great questions! Terri and I had thought
a general "wellness" theme may be a good direction for the conference (we
are looking for conference title ideas as well). We are thinking in terms
of wellness for students, fellow staff members, and of course-ourselves!

On that note, some workshops/topics that were suggested by the MEEOA
membership in our survey include:
-getting rid of cliques in the workplace
-having difficult conversations with coworkers, employees, and supervisors
-how to motivate students to apply to scholarships
-improving the TRIO pipeline

Some proposals we have already received (or have been brought to us as an
idea) include topics such as:
-self-care
-"Hope is not an Emotion: Understanding the Cognitive Process and How to
Build its Capacity"
-a workshop on working with trans students
-financial literacy

If there are any thoughts on workshops, please send them our way! In case
anyone did not receive the workshop proposal form, I have attached it again
here

.

Thank you!
