Register Today for the Virtual Director Workshop

Conservation district directors, associate directors, managers, and partners–there’s still time to register for the March 9 Virtual Director Workshop: Staff Retention, the Employee Life Cycle, and Post-Covid Policies. The workshop presentation includes three parts:

  • Part 1 will begin at 9:30 a.m. with an overview of workforce trends and data from the January 2022 Conservation District Staff Retention survey.
  • Part 2, from 10:00 a.m. – Noon, will examine shifting attitudes and generations in the workplace, the employee life cycle, and the role of performance management concepts in a successful retention strategy.
  • We will break for lunch at noon and reconvene for “virtual” networking starting at 12:40 p.m.
  • Part 3, from 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m., will include a report and group discussion exercises focusing on retention strategy priorities identified at the 2021 Summit conference and in the 2022 Staff Retention survey.

Districts are encouraged to host watch parties for their board members; please contact Leadership Development Coordinator Matt Miller at mmiller@pacd.org for more information.
