On Friday, November 22, faculty association staff from across Ontario came together for OCUFA’s 2019 Faculty Association Staff Workshop for a day of learning, sharing, and skills-development.
The day was energized by robust discussion. Morning highlights included an opening plenary focused on the challenges facing faculty associations under the Ford government and a workshop on staff can more effectively deal with difficult behaviours in the workplace.
The afternoon featured a skills-sharing roundtable where individual staff shared their own tips and tricks, a breakout session where staff could discuss shared interests in smaller groups, and a presentation on how staff can use digital tools to help their faculty association with member engagement.
