2013 ACPE Sowing Seeds for Our Holy Work 
Annual Campaign

Who Is Your Champion?

By Miriam Needham, Annual Campaign Chair

  Miriam Needham

Well, believe it or not, you have one.  In fact your Champion is someone that you know.  So who is this person who has taken on the awesome task of championing you and your region?  Some of you probably already know their name and perhaps you know that your Champion is the person in your region who will 'champion' the cause of our Annual Campaign, Sowing Seeds for our Holy Work, 2013.  So while your Champion may need little introduction, I know that many of us are not fully acquainted with the task that she/he has taken on and that many of us may not fully understand the purpose of our ACPE Annual Campaign.

MAKING PRESENTATIONS TO ADMINISTRATION THAT MATTER

A PANEL DISCUSSION WITH MARK GRACE, TED TROUT-LANDEN, AND KEITH VESPER

MODERATED BY RICHARD THORNE 

July 11th - 1:00-2:00 EDT
  • How to prepare for making a presentation to administration
  • Making friends with those to whom you'll be presenting
  • What should an effective presentation include
  • What are the best "tools" to use in presenting
  • How can "buy-in" be built into the presentation

In this webinar ACPE Supervisors Mark Grace, Ted Trout-Landen, and Keith Vesper will discuss the above issues and provide practical ideas for implementation.  Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions of the panel between topics and at the conclusion of the formal program.  The session will be moderated by Richard Thorne.

National Office Implements New Phone System 

The ACPE national office implemented a new automated phone system this month.  The recordings are another resource for our students/potential students and members to find answers to the most frequently asked questions.  It should also allow callers to more efficiently find the appropriate staff member.  The national office staff hopes the new system is informative and user-friendly.  They also hope it allows them to focus more time on larger, more complicated tasks and projects.  Please send your feedback to John Roch - we would love to hear from you!
