SUMMARY:Supporting My Team as a New Supervisor
DESCRIPTION:About This Event…\nSo you’re a new supervisor! Congratulations. You clearly were great at your old job – that’s how you got promoted. However\, the skills and talents required to be a great counselor or activity instructor aren’t the same as those required to be an effective supervisor. There are several specific areas of learning new supervisors should begin mastering long before they begin the actual work of mentoring and leading others.  \nJoin Emily for a crash course in stepping up to leadership. We’ll cover the top mistakes new supervisors make (and how to avoid them\, of course!)\, the best ways to build credibility\, and the parts of the role you might not realize are now your responsibility.  \nTo cap it off\, we’ll look at some familiar scenarios from your camp counselor days through a lens of supervisory decision-making. This workshop is designed for both new supervisors and/or those responsible for onboarding/training incoming supervisory staff.  \nAbout The Speaker…\nEmily Golinsky \nTraining\, Consulting & Advocacy\, Bright Moose LLC \nWith session feedback including “tremendously helpful\,” “definitely not the same-old\,” “fun and informative” and “not to be missed – a reason to come to the conference\,” Emily Golinsky is the Founder of Bright Moose LLC. She provides training\, coaching\, consultation and professional development support to camps\, schools and youth orgs\, guided by the motto “Help Others Shine Bright!” Emily sits on the Board of Directors for NHCamps and is an ACA New England Visitor\, Conference Committee member\, New Camp Directors’ Workshop faculty member\, and the Newer Camp Directors’ Roundtable facilitator. She is also an education Advocate for youth with special needs and a certified Adult Mental Health First Aid Instructor. Emily spent 14 years as the Executive Director for Camp Starfish (NH)\, holds a BS in Health Psychology and MS in Camp Administration/Leadership\, and is an avid collector of terribly awesome puns. \n\nWho Should Attend…\nThis presentation is for\, but not limited to\, supervisors (new or seasonal)\, managers\, directors\, and owners.  \nWhy Attend …\nHow will your camp benefit from you attending this program? \nAttendees will boost job satisfaction for themselves and the people they oversee and help build confidence and credibility with the people you oversee which will lead to returning staff. \nHow does your career benefit from you attending this program?  \nAttending this event will help build confidence as a leader\, will help increase your collective knowledge of the field and management of others\, and build connections and resources with peers. \nHow to Register …\nMake sure you’re logged into the ACA Illinois Services Portal to register. Click here to create your profile or click here to login. \nQuestions?

Over-involved parents. What’s the matter with young people today? Most likely nothing! We have more in common with this cohort of staff than one might think; their needs are just expressed differently. We have an opportunity to communicate that we are in touch with the times and yet have a handle on timeless wisdom. Thus\, we have to demonstrate that we understand the perspectives of those we hope to recruit\, hire\, and retain without compromising important vision\, values\, and views. Throughout this keynote session\, data and feedback gathered directly from staff will guide us to meeting them where they are rather than where we wish they were.\n\n\nAttendee-driven interactive think tank on key staffing-related topics that matter to camps led by Kim Aycock.\nSession and panel facilitated by Kim Aycock: Bringing interns to your camp  – What’s the difference between internships\, practicums\, and independent studies for students/camp staff and how do you think about integrating this into your camp’s planning. \n\nWho: Camp professionals involved in any aspect of staff recruitment\, hiring\, and retention – from directors to HR professionals and everyone in between! \nWhen: Wednesday\, October 30\, 2019\, 10:00 am – 3:30 pm \n\nPlease note that as of 10/18/19 there has been an update to the content and speakers for our morning keynote.
