Friends--

Have been asked for ideas for an OST or similar segment for a Thursday through Saturday time frame. Could you please help me think through what I might invite them to do? Has anybody done work for this program before and do you have proceedings/reports that might help?

Those attending are women from either Sub-Sahara Africa or Western Hemisphere (our local group is competing for both groups, and at most one will be assigned), who are completing their studies in the US and heading back to their countries. The purpose of the program is to increase mutual understanding of folks in the US and other countries.

The US State Department is apparently running the event and has asked for each "workshop" to be 2 hours in length. Their priority areas for skill-building workshops are:
        Communication/Networking
        Identification of Leadership Styles
        Resume writing
        Conflict Resolution
        Team Building/Leadership
        Problem Solving
        Goal setting
        Grant writing

These seem custom-made for OS!

How would you approach this? The proposal must be in to the State Dept by Dec 9, so I am on deadline!

I am thinking of a parallel full day OS on the last day. Not sure who all is involved (I know they are academics), but I want to suggest the whole conference be in OST!

My contact thinks we should work on communication/networking or Problem Solving. I'm not so sure. I am thinking of some theme like "Issues and Opportunities for Taking All This Back Home."

Your suggestions?

:- Doug.
