Agenda

Workshops

Advocacy at the Conference Level- Systematically Changing Our Approach

This interactive workshop will focus on how we can better insure that we’ve made it easier for those in need to get on a reliable path to self-sufficiency. Participants should prepare to share examples of times that they have advocated, on behalf of or with, a person in need to give them longer term assistance than we normally do.

Presenter(s): Jack Murphy, President, St. Thomas Aquinas Conference & National Chair, Systemic Change & Advocacy

Being a Vincentian Servant Leader

Servant leadership is not connected to a person’s title, as it is quite different to the function of management. The cornerstone of this model is the belief that all people have within them leadership qualities and that an office, Conference or Special Work should facilitate opportunities for individual and collective leadership qualities to come to the fore. This workshop will focus on how servant leadership plays a part of every Vincentian’s journey.

Presenter: Frank Sup, SVdP Georgia Formator

CMS Future Enhancements

In this session, we will review and discuss the Case Management and Treasury enhancements we plan to implement over the next 12 months. Over the past 2 years, we have received numerous enhancement requests from our users. These enhancements have been reviewed, prioritized, and approved by a CMS User Enhancement Review Team. The enhancements have been categorized and prioritized in the following groups: “Must Haves”, “Should Haves”, and Nice to Haves”.
