A-4 Don’t Throw the Flag Too Soon This workshop is aimed at those who believe that all persons should be given the opportunity to achieve amazing results. Dr. Haynes will share his unique philosophy, honed as a NFL football official, is to give effective thought to a decision and “Don’t Throw the Flag Too Soon”. As a successful educator and NFL official, Dr. Haynes recognizes that decisions made in haste can be harmful to those we lead or teach. Poor decisions can have dire consequences that can have a lifelong effect. Dr. Haynes will share his formula for success which includes redemption, second chances, and beating the odds. He will share real-life stories where amazing things happened when compassion and thought were mixed with the opportunity for another try. If you have not gotten the best results from your Specialists or your students, perhaps, you have thrown the flag too soon.

Auditor Clarence Mingo’s life and career have been about service to his

country and his community. A veteran of the United States Army, Clarence

answered the call of service and served honorably with the coalition forces

that liberated Kuwait during the 1991 Persian Gulf War.

Upon his return, Clarence attended The Ohio State University where he earned his undergraduate and law degree in a little more than five years. Clarence then re-focused his commitment to service to his community as an attorney in private practice, helping to protect those citizens most in need. Franklin County courts frequently appointed Clarence to serve as a Guardian ad Litem (child advocate), representing the interests of children in abuse, neglect and divorce cases.

He also serviced the Legal Aid Society of Columbus’ Neighborhood Service’s project. In this capacity, Clarence was one of three attorneys who represented indigent county residents with legal issues involving housing, public benefits, civil protective orders, and custody matters. He also fought for funding in an effort to expand and further develop the project's reach and influence on the indigent population in Columbus, Ohio.

In 2007, the late Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, Thomas J. Moyer, appointed Clarence as a commis-sioner in the Ohio Court of Claims. Clarence served as one of seven commissioners with statewide appellate jurisdiction in victims of crime cases. In 2009, Clarence was appointed as Franklin County Auditor. In 2010, Franklin County voters awarded Clarence a full four-year term. In 2011, Governor John Kasich appointed Clarence to serve on Ohio’s Lottery Commission.

As Auditor, Clarence ensures that Franklin County residents are offered the best public service in fiscal, real estate and consumer protection. He understands the importance of maintaining a modern office with capable staff and the latest technology to compliment their effort. Clarence and his wife Angela married in 1992. They are the proud parents of Annalise and Ava Mingo. The family resides in New Albany, Ohio and look forward to greater opportuni-ties for service.

Dr. Joe A. Haynes, former Superintendent of Greenville Public School District, has worked with numerous school districts and universities in Mississippi, including Holmes County School District, Jackson Public Schools, and Jackson State University. Dr. Haynes served as the Associate Superintendent of Leadership and Operations at the Mississippi State Department of Education. He is the former Executive Director at Jobs for Mississippi Graduates, Inc. Dr. Haynes also has a long history of working with the National Football Leagues as an Official – Line Judge, and he continues as an NFL College and University Talent Scout for Prospective NFL Game Officials. He is a member of the National Alliance Black School Educators (NASBE), American Association of School Administrators (AASA), Mississippi Association of School Administrators (MASA), and Association for Supervi-sion and Curriculum Development (ASCD). Don’t Throw the Flag Too Soon is about taking opportunities to correct poor decisions in a meaningful way—in the game of life or in any setting.

Dr. Haynes attributes his success in sports and in education to the many people who helped him along his journey. This book pays homage to those individuals that didn’t throw the flag on him due to any of his shortcomings, there-by, making it possible for him to achieve success. Dr. Haynes is available for radio, print and television interviews.

The workshop will provide activities, ice breakers, and tips on how to keep the Career Association chapter motivated and energized throughout the year.

B-5 Serving Hard to Serve Population Connecting the Dots for Your Foster Care Youth; and Other Hard to Serve

Populations

This interactive workshop will provide you with strategies and techniques covering best and worst practicing in this start up pilot. Join in a frank discussion about how to make it work; setting up your syllabus to accommodate rolling enrollment, serving a roster outside of the classroom, connecting to community resources, collaborating with multiple agencies/partners. We will also discuss additional challenges such as; homelessness, child care, transportation and mental health. Plus learn how using Incentives, Supportive Services and job shadowing can help you reach your goals. If you are serving a “hybrid” roster or a traditional roster with one or more foster care youth, you will leave with ideas, tools and resources to make a difference.

B-8 Stand Up & Stand Out: Working with Isolated, Excluded and Bullied Students Nova Southeastern University concluded that when a person is isolated, excluded, teased or bullied during their formative years; it is very difficult to overcome the damage done. In fact, 15% of chronically absent students cite bullying as the reason while 50% of military children drop out of high school; nearly all of whom cite isolation due to frequent moves. These experiences can be so damaging that, according to the USC, victims are more likely to abuse substances and spend time in prison while both Johns Hopkins University and the National Governors Association have consistently found that chronic absenteeism is the strongest predictor of dropping out of high school. This workshop will give you the tools you need to identify, recruit and retain isolated, excluded, bullied and bullying students.

D-6 The Speaker’s Art From a lifetime of public speaking – from a teen-age stump speaker for political candidates in her native Oklahoma, to a successful public servant, to a business owner and acclaimed author and speaker – Carolyn Warner has honed her craft in every imaginable venue. In this dialogue with JAG Specialists, she shares her “tricks of the trade” – from mental, physical and research preparation to platform techniques and strategies, and even talks about the different challenges faced by women and men speakers. “Nobody is ever too well-prepared,” according to Carolyn. “If you look like you’re completely relaxed but focused, and everybody in your audience believes you know precisely what you’re doing and that you’re enjoying it as much as they are, that means you have done your job. No matter if it’s an audience of one, one hundred, or one thousand, they are giving you the most precious gift they have – their time – and you have the responsibility of making sure that they have invested wisely.

F-6 Stand Up & Stand Out: Working with Isolated, Excluded and Bullied Students Nova Southeastern University concluded that when a person is isolated, excluded, teased or bullied during their formative years; it is very difficult to overcome the damage done. In fact, 15% of chronically absent students cite bullying as the reason while 50% of military children drop out of high school; nearly all of whom cite isolation due to frequent moves. These experiences can be so damaging that, according to the USC, victims are more likely to abuse substances and spend time in prison while both Johns Hopkins University and the National Governors Association have consistently found that chronic absenteeism is the strongest predictor of dropping out of high school. This workshop will give you the tools you need to identify, recruit and retain isolated, excluded, bullied and bullying students.
