Leadership and Creativity in CBO for HIV Prevention

Palm Spring
Workshop hotel to be announced later
Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center (A&PI Wellness
Center) is hosting “Family Style IV: Leadership and
Creativity in CBOs for HIV Prevention” from November
11th – 14th 2007 in Palm Spring.
Goal:
To increase leadership and creativity among management,
program supervisors, and front-line staff in Asian & Pacific
Islander (A&PI) community-based organizations across
the nation and the Pacific region, so that participants can
better address issues of staff morale,
turnover, and creative program development in their organizations.
Training Description:
This training uses experiential learning technique and
small group activities to generate insights and to help participants
integrate such insights into their daily work. While it will
also teach standard program development skills, the emphasis
will not be on following standard procedures but on how to
use these skills in the context of leadership and creativity
to create innovative programs.
The program starts on November 11th evening with ice-breaker,
training objectives overview and welcome dinner. Actual training
begins on 12th Monday 9:30am and runs through till 14th early
afternoon. Participants may choose to arrive on the 12th
morning, but must be on time for the start of the training
on 9:30am.
Target Audience:
HIV prevention management, program
supervisors, and front-line staff across the United States and the Pacific Island Jurisdictions
working with A&PIs who are interested in learning and
sharing their knowledge on how their agencies foster leadership
and creativity across all job descriptions. Priority will
be given to anyone who is facing staff morale, turnover and
program development issues in their agency.
Additionally, the following target audiences have been prioritized
and include:
1. Managers/Supervisors or front-line staff from organizations
who receive CDC funds to conduct HIV prevention programs
specifically for A&PI communities through their health
department or a subcontract through another CDC-funded community-based
organization, including A&PI people living with HIV/AIDS
2. Mangers/Supervisors or front-line staff from non-CDC
funded organizations who are conducting HIV prevention interventions
in A&PI communities, including A&PI people living
with HIV/AIDS
3. Managers/Supervisors or front-line staff from other
organizations working on HIV-related issues (such as sexually
transmitted diseases, domestic violence, family planning,
teen pregnancy) in A&PI communities who have an interest in doing HIV
prevention work, including A&PI people living with HIV/AIDS
Space is limited due to funding constraints.

There is no registration fee for this meeting and scholarships
are available for selected participants. Ability to pay will
not be a factor in the participant selection process. A&PI
Wellness Center will arrange and pay for lodging for the
