Erica Davis, NAO POCG Chair, NAO Board Member (POCG representative) will facilitate our September 8 meeting:

Building a High-Performing Culture though Organizational Engagement

 In this session we will discuss best practices for organizational and employee engagement. Engaged workers are more productive, stay with employers longer, thereby boosting your organizational efforts. Today we will dig into how to build an engagement strategy, setting realistic and measurable expectations, considering how we “talk” to others, and establishing a responsive and regular communication loop by creating a collaborative organizational work environment.

 Objectives:

1. Best Practices for Engagement

2. How to work Collaboratively as Centers and Program Offices

3. Identifying how to Effectively Communicate Concerns

4. How to Enhance Funding Opportunities
