| Pre-Conference Workshop #1 Leading through Power and Influence Dr. Wendy K. Smith, Associate Professor of Management, Lerner College of Business and Economics, University of Delaware Effective leaders must be able to identify their source of power and know how to use them effectively. Starting with a pedagogical case study, this session will help participants identify and employ these skills. We will challenge the assumption that power and influence are only associated with formal, position power (i.e. the boss) and identify sources of power without having specific role and title. We will then invite participants to explore their own source of power, including assessing power in their own personal networks and connections. |

Pre-Conference Workshop #2 Accreditation through the Lens of Continuing, Professional, and Online Education Kristine Rabberman, Director, Division of Professional and Liberal Education, University of Pennsylvania This pre-conference workshop focuses on best practices for preparing for the Middle States review and re-accreditation, with special attention to recent changes in Middle State’s processes and requirements. It includes specific attention to credit and non-credit activities and programming in the context of professional, continuing, and distance education.
