    • Planning for reinvention

    The major units of the course are:

     

    • Understanding reinvention and clarify values
    • Envision your personal preferred future
    • Develop the reinvention plan
    • Build a support network to help you in carrying out the plan

    WRRCEA October 16-18, 2015

    University of Alberta Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

    The biannual WRRCEA conference, a collaborative effort of universities in Western Canada and the Western United States with graduate programs engaged in the study of the education of adults, will be hosted by the Department of Educational Policy Studies, University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada.

    Proposal submissions are due no later than June 1, 2015

     

    Conference Theme

    This year, the conference will be organized around the theme of Reanimating Adult Education: Conflict, Violence and Learning. The theme is meant to invoke ideas and debates about possibilities for adult education in the shifting global landscape of violent conflict, colonialism, capitalism, imperialism, gender and other inequities, and neoliberalized spaces. Participants are invited to explore their research and practice in relation to these contextual factors. How might adult education scholars, researchers, practitioners and activists bring new life to the field?

     

    Proposal submissions are invited to respond to this theme or to broader considerations in the study and practice of adult education.

     

    Types of Proposals and Sessions

    The WRRCEA 2015 conference committee welcomes proposals in the areas of theory, research, policy and practice. As a principle of adult education, audience participation in all sessions is encouraged. All proposals will be peer reviewed. Full papers, along with summaries of roundtables, posters and symposia, will be published in the digital conference proceedings.

    ·      Full Paper (50 minutes):  Full paper presentations report on complete or nearly complete work.

    ·      Symposia (90 minutes): In symposia participants explore diverse or conflicting perspectives on a compelling topic or issue that is or should be of concern to adult education practitioners. A symposium is intended to be a dialogue, not only a presentation of a related set of papers.

    All proposals should be submitted electronically to wrrcea2015@gmail.com

     

    Please include authorial information along with primary author contact information in your email only. The proposal itself should not include any identifying information.

    March 18, 2015 2:00pm - 3:00pm EDT 
    By: Christopher Faust and Amanda Wilson

    Qvidian recently surveyed sales and marketing executives from companies around the globe to better understand their outlook for 2015. Please join Qvidian's Chief Marketing Officer Christopher Faust and Marketing Director Amanda Wilson for a live webinar as they review the results of the annual State of Sales Execution Survey, which include key objectives for sales organizations in 2015, the challenges and obstacles they expect to face, and the investment areas needed to improve sales execution.

    Attendees will receive valuable insight into this year's sales trends:

    • Executive management priorities imply that most organizations will continue to be in growth mode for 2015.
    • Slow sales rep ramp-up continues to be the hurdle for organizations achieving quotas.
    • Efficiency remains a priority for organizations with increasing upsell and cross-sell efforts, and they are streamlining sales processes to meet this objective.
