• Strategies to be prioritized

9:30 – 11:00

Facilitated table discussions for each of OPAS Domains of Action:

• Strategy Break-out Sessions; all members rotate through each table group (facilitators excepted), Each session is 25 minutes with 5 minutes “passing time.”
• Motivation – Bruce Schafer
• Preparation – Dick Knight
• Transfer, Diversity and Retention – Eileen Boerger
• For each group, discuss
• The strategies assigned to this category.
• Any top-level strategies that are missing.
• The environment:  intervention methods, sub-strategies, constraints, issues, opportunities, timelines, resources, partners
• Relative priority of these strategies based on criteria.
• 5 minute recap: Have we captured the discussion? Is anything missing?

11:00 – 11:15

Last rotation helps facilitator develop summary, identify strategies

11:15 – 11:45

Each facilitator will present a summary of the working sessions to the entire group

11:45 – 12:05

Lunch is served, concurrently with all members participate in a voting process:

• 3 green dots – based on the criteria discussed, individuals vote for three different strategies: what are the most important uses of OPAS resources – time, money, etc.

12:15 – 12:45

All members participate in a second-round voting process:

• 2 magenta stickers with voters' names -- vote based on where your passion is; where you are prepared to invest time and energy.
• Identify the top three strategies

12:45 - 1:00

Tallying identifies the top three strategies

1:00 – 1:15

 Prepare for break-out sessions around the top 3 strategies …

• Announce results of vote
• Members join the strategy session most aligned with their expertise and passions
• Rebalance groups, if necessary, so that each has a similar number of people
• Bruce, Dick, and Eileen are available to facilitate
• Note: After the workshop, the steering committee will consider using the top three to six strategies identified here as the basis for adjustments to existing and/or new committees

1:15 – 2:45

Break-out Sessions for each of the top 3 newly chosen strategies.  These exercises may be done as a group or with subgroups at the discretion of the group:

• Exercise 1
• What intervention method(s) best fit this strategy?
• What sub-strategies best match this strategy?
• What next steps should be taken to develop and implement the strategy?
• Exercise 2
•  How could we obtain more resources to implement this strategy?
• Ideas developed will be used by committees or newly formed task forces as starting point after the workshop.   We may also create a new committee focused on resource development.
• Exercise 3
• What handful of quantitative data do we need to track and evaluate the strategy?

2:45 – 3:15

Break / Networking

3:15 – 4:00

Report out to the group from each strategy session

4:00 – 4:25

Summarize conclusions.   These results will be used by the steering committee to decide future committee/task force structure.

4:25
