This is a great conference. I have worked for the JCC for a total of 18 yrs. & this is the first time attending a JCCA conference. There are some very inspirational speakers and some great ideas. A couple of the “hot” ideas from the conference:
If it’s not broken, break it.
Put it in the budget!
Find something that you really enjoy.
Work your ass off.
Be honest.
Respect others.
It has also been a wonderful time getting to know my fellow St Paul JCC colleagues away from the work setting. Being able to discuss how we integrate our programming and brainstorm some very creative solutions to programming that involves all of us has been fun.
There are still four more sessions left and if the conference continues at the same level, I know that I will continue to be inspired and will be able to bring the excitement that I am experiencing back to my JCC.
More hot ideas later…….
