Partner Workshop Organizer

• Complete the NAFSA Partner Workshop Proposal Form

All NAFSA leaders are expected to foster an inclusive environment and seek to learn and understand the multicultural perspectives of the committee/team, our constituents, and stakeholders to align with the NAFSA Diversity and Inclusion Statement. An expression of leadership in this area includes:

• Engaging the committee/team to identify and implement strategies for increased personal outreach, recruitment, and onboarding for all, especially diversity-focused and underrepresented groups
• Increasing accessibility and participation from underrepresented groups, individuals, and institutions
• Expanding educational content within the committees’ purview through intentional outreach and recruitment of diverse presenters and institutional types in partnership with various NAFSA groups

 
NAFSA: Association of International Educators is a professional association driven by its Strategic Plan as established by the Board of Directors.  The success of the association depends on the productive engagement of three key constituencies: the Board, member-leaders, and staff.  Member-leaders are advocates for the association’s mission, vision, values, diversity and inclusion, and ethical principles. They align their work closely with the Board through its vice presidents and with staff to carry out the Strategic Plan. Member-leader roles are guided by objectives assigned by the Strategic Plan, by outcome accountabilities outlined in the Standing Rules, and by position descriptions for specific roles.

Varies, but it is recommended to plan at least 6-8 weeks in advance for an Partner Workshop offering. Some flexibility is given, especially if you, as a current Trainer Corps member, plan to be the trainer for the CEP Workshop. 

Contact NAFSA staff to request the Partner Workshop Proposal Form and get started.

Partner Workshops can be offered at various times and locations all throughout the year, except in the lead up to and during the NAFSA Annual Conference and Regional Conferences.
