[Organizers] Online Workshops for Contra Organizers

If you're into using the social dance shutdown time to improve your game as an organizer, this ought to interest you. Dela Murphy, my wife and co-founder of both Portland Intown Contra Dance and Form the Ocean, is a total whiz-bang organizer. She's been a leader in shaping the community we're so proud of and has expertise in leadership and group development. Despite many challenges in the North American contra dance community, PICD had been growing steadily for years prior to the pandemic and Form the Ocean has been a weekend meeting a need not previously met. Now, Dela's been codifying why that is. Here's an opportunity for organizers of contra/social dances to tap into that knowledge and share it with your community! Dela is hosting the following workshops for organizers in June. I encourage you to sign up if you're interested, as these workshops are limited to 10 people each: *Cultivating an Outstanding Culture*: June 10 & 16 http://portlandintowncontradance.com/workshops-info/organizer-class-culture *Attracting, Managing & Retaining Volunteers*: June 13 & 17 http://portlandintowncontradance.com/workshops-info/organizer-class-attract… *Attracting & Retaining Dancers*: June 9 & 20 http://portlandintowncontradance.com/workshops-info/organizer-class-attract… You'll find them all listed here: http://portlandintowncontradance.com/workshops Dela would have posted about this herself, but she isn't subscribed to this listserv.
