    There is still space in next week's free TEAM training!
    OVS Training and Outreach
    The OVS Training and Technical Assistance Request Program still has space in our Understanding Your Communication Style Using T.E.A.M. program that is scheduled for August 4 from 1:00-3:30 pm. We have also just scheduled 3 new open enrollment programs . These programs are free and open to any staff in OVS funded programs on a first come first served basis. Unlike the webinars, space in these programs is limited to keep them small and highly interactive. The three programs are: How to Lead Effective Meetings , August 12 from 1:30-4:00 pm Leading Change , August 16 from 1:30-4 pm (designed for supervisors or those interested in learning more about leadership) Conflict Resolution , August 18 from 9:30-noon To register for any of these programs, just simply click on the name of the program and you will be directed to the registration page. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me, Alan Krieger (alan@kriegersolutions.com) or Nicole O'Connor (nicole@jastrategies.com). Jennifer Amstutz -J.A.
