Our 2023 Retreat Will Now Be Virtual…
After much thoughtful consideration, and with respect to the rise in Covid cases and the constituencies we serve, we have made the decision to revert to a virtual retreat for 2023. We do regret having to change course at this late stage, but believe this is the most responsible course of action for all concerned.
We see this as an opportunity and are eager to take advantage of it.
Our watchword this year has been engagement. While we are losing the opportunity to see all of you in person, our retreat program this year will be specially-geared toward starting a conversation with you that continues beyond this convening. We’ll be scheduling follow-up discussions with various groups so that when we meet in person in 2024, we can hit the ground running.
WHAT’S ON THE AGENDA?
Retreat and post-retreat topics will include:
understanding the powerful impact when using both Discovery and Systematic Instruction strategies
exploring innovative employer engagement utilizing the Customized Employment approach
recognizing the benefit of using Discovery for Students for school to work transition students
discussing how providers and states are addressing challenges related to hiring, retention, and training of staff
considering professional development needs to develop more stewards of Discovery, Systematic Instruction and Customized Employment for our field
We are asking those who register to let us know if there are additional topics they’d like covered. Those topics the receive the most attention will be addressed in some form during the virtual retreat as well as in our follow-up convenings with specific groups.
REGISTER HERE!
The virtual retreat will take place Tuesday, November 7th, 2023, from 11 AM to 5 PM ET. Virtual seats are available for $175 per person. (Organizations with invoicing arrangements with MG&A: please choose “Non-Card Payment” at checkout.)
Have YOUR RETREAT email?
It contains a code you’ll need to complete your purchase (which will open in a new window).
WHO’S INVITED?
The Discovery Retreat is open to those who’ve attended an MG&A training in Discovery, Customized Employment, or Systematic Instruction, with an interest in deepening their knowledge in these areas and networking with their peers in the field. These persons received an email with an access code in early August 2023.
Still want to attend?
MG&A Discovery Retreats work best when ALL participants have some level of MG&A training or background in Customized Employment (CE). They are not meant as an introduction to CE training. However, if you or someone you know has not participated in MG&A training, but still meet this criteria and would like an opportunity to learn and network with national leaders on the forefront of CE, send us an email using the button below and let us know. We’ll reach out to discuss participation.
