Topic Brainstorming

Hey hey all you hip LDSS students!

As I mentioned in my e-mail, before we meet again in January, we want to have a pretty good idea of what topics we want to cover in our monthly meetings so here is a list of topic areas. If you could pick 3 or 4 topic areas that you are most interested in, and post your interests as a comment on the blog, that would be just great! That way, we can read everyone's comments and have a good idea of where our collective interests lie come January. Sound good?

Topics
-Social Work Research/Publishing
-Fundraising and Development
-Finance and Accounting
-Pathways to becoming an Executive Director
-the LDSS job climate
-Advocacy/Policy Work
-Community Organizing
-Program Planning and Development
-Program Management and Evaluation
-PhD Programs


Again, please list in the comment sections your top 3 or 4 choices for topics. Also, please indicate if you know of anyone who might want to speak about the topic matter. If you can think of the perfect person to address a certain topic, feel free to contact them in the interim to see if they would even be able to speak sometime in the Spring. Laura and I figure it makes the most sense to figure out what we want speakers to address before settling on a list of speakers.


Thanks everyone....now Comment Away!


And of course, Happy Holidays!
