This past weekend, I had the pleasure of attending our annual professional development conference in Panorama, British Columbia. The location was absolutely beautiful and the staff was wonderful.
This conference was held through the Educational Liaison Association of Alberta (ELAA) and is the only professional development available to recruiters in Alberta.
We enjoyed sessions including: Survival on the Road; Presentation Styles, a humourous activity-filled session facilitated by Joel Hilchey; and Recruitment and Marketing to Today’s Students facilitated by Jane Bishop from Noel-Levitz.
This was ELAA’s Seventh Annual Professional Development and I have been lucky enough to attend them all. I can say this was one of our best!
Although the weekend was packed with sessions, we still had a chance to catch up with veteran recruiters and get to know new ones. These people are our true co-workers during the recruitment season and many of them become life-long friends.
This weekend gave us a chance to get hyped for the season ahead; and it will be a long on, but we have been reminded how important our roles can be with the future of those students we have a chance to speak with along our journey.
I am now in the process of finalizing hotels and rental vehicles for my trip into the beautiful landscapes of North Eastern Alberta...watch for pictures and stories in October.
