We then had several breakout sessions that included the following topics:

  • Prior Learning Assessment:  creating non-credit to credit pathways

The Tri-Region conference was hosted by our region chairs:

Jasmine Cardona Region South Chairperson   

Teresa Fava-Schram, Region East Chairperson

1. The purpose of the regional conference in the south, west and east of the state is to provide a forum to exchange ideas and best practices in continuing education and workforce development. Local and national experts share information about emerging trends and opportunities as well as potential challenges.

2. Regional conferences are in the spring (April/May) and charge a nominal fee for a day-long conference whose topics usually include a new initiative or trend and how to manage a professional matter such as supervision or time management. Regional conferences allow members to visit other campuses and share ideas about facilities as well as exchanging ideas.
