Dear Colleagues:

On behalf of the Ohio Association of County Boards - Serving People with Developmental Disabilities, it is my pleasure to formally announce the Executive Development Program Class of 2014. This program has been specifically developed for individuals seeking positions in middle or upper management within the developmental disability service delivery system, as well as those seeking to enhance the delivery of services to people with developmental disabilities.

The Executive Development Program provides for group-based study specifically designed to enhance the professional learning experience. As you will see in the brochure, the program has been divided into eight (8) two-day units. As such, participants will not be away from their jobs or families for extended periods of time.

Classes will begin in January 2014 with one (1) two-day unit taking place each month. No classes will be held during the months of May, June and July to allow for professional spring conferences and summer vacations. The program will resume in August with units continuing through November.

The program has been approved by the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities for continuing education credits (CEC). Participants completing the entire program will earn 112 credit hours from the Department. Additionally, the program (when completed in its entirety) meets the requirements of the advanced curriculum for administrators in Ohio’s developmental disabilities service delivery system as outlined in the Superintendent Certification Standards rule (OAC 5123:2-5-03 (B)(2)). Participants may also take individual 2-day units through the EDP Program Year.

We are also very excited about our continuing affiliation with Notre Dame College in Cleveland, Ohio. For an extra fee, participants will have the opportunity to earn some college graduate-level credit for attending the program.

We have assembled a group of professionals who are not only well-heeled in adult education but also well-experienced and knowledgeable in the DD world. Some of our presenters have worked with Fortune 100 companies across the country while others have served provider agencies and county boards of developmental disabilities right here in our own backyard.

Registration for this year’s program will be made available on the OACB Web site. Because there is limited space available for this exciting professional development opportunity, we encourage those who may be interested to act quickly and register on-line.

If you have any questions about the program prior to online registration, please feel free to contact Kim Linkinhoker or Ann Neu at (614) 431-0616 for more information.

We look forward to seeing you in January!

Sincerely,

Bridget GarganExecutive Director

Leadership: Compass Expedition, Part IJanuary 13

9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Overview:When a person is placed in a position of leadership there are hundreds of skills he or she needs to have. More importantly, these skills must rest on a strong foundation. Many people think they can become a great leader by reading a book. If you want to go somewhere, a map is good - better yet is a guide that has already been there. You can learn a lot about leadership from a book, but in order to be a leader that people want to follow, you’ve got to do the work yourself. It starts with a “Long Hard Look in the Mirror.” Leaders must know what they believe as well as their: presuppositions, personalities, passion, purpose, and habits

Presenter:Roger Hall, Ph.D., Business Psychologist, Compass Consultation, Ltd., Hilliard, Ohio

Personal and Professional Branding: You are a Walking, Talking, Breathing Résumé

February 4

8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Overview:“You are a Walking, Talking, Breathing Résumé.” Behavior doesn’t lie. Your behavior tells the world what you believe, how you think, what you value. When you are in a leadership position, the world is watching you! In this interactive session, you become more aware of your verbal and non-verbal communication habits and how you come across to others. You understand more clearly how others perceive you and communicate with their perceptions of you. You are your brand, and every nuance of your life demonstrates who you are. You learn the communication strategies and techniques that give you away as well as those that help you ensure that your message is sent and understood in the way you intended. You are responsible to project the truth of who you are. Be true to yourself. That notion, in itself, is the brand of effective leadership.

Organizational Development: Supporting the Good LifeMarch 4

Success in the Good Life approach depends heavily upon the fundamentals of successful relationships: respect, compassion, and consistency. Presenters will introduce common sense-based tools which, if practiced daily, will have a long-lasting and successful result. It is also clear that the current organizational structures will not support this model. Potential opportunities for restructuring and realigning of services will be shared. Bridget Gargan and John Martin will discuss the systems transformation recommendations that are being recommended that will align the system with the Good Life philosophy.

Finance/Business ManagementApril 7

9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Overview:This session will focus on essential financial and administrative concepts that are important for a public sector executive.

The third segment of the discussion will be on non-payroll expenditures, including capital planning, procurement, and payment. Throughout the session, relevant internal control procedures, or “checks and balances,” will be highlighted.

Strategic PlanningApril 8

8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Overview:Creating the future is a compelling business strategy. At times it’s exciting. Other times it’s overwhelming. A process for building a strategy is often the missing piece, holding back organizations and leaders from building the template by which their program and employees will thrive. Strategic planning is a long-term, results-oriented focus. The strategic plan serves as a platform for helping organizations to respond to a dynamic environment.

This session will focus on the fundamentals of strategic planning. Participants will work in teams to design an organization’s strategic plan, and an array of approaches will be used to engage participants in the process of strategic planning. This session will be an engaging and dynamic look at the tools to build and sustain the future blueprint of the organization.
