Make Time for Your Own Learning
|
You spend a lot of time supporting others. What learning would help you in your own work?
AESA’s opportunities offer several places to start: work through strategic decisions with your leadership team, connect with peers in an AESA network, or join colleagues in Orlando for the Annual Conference & Expo. Take a look and find something that fits what you need next.

BSF Participants Have Strong Opinions. Here’s Your Chance to Find Out Why.

Staff from AESA member CREST Collaborative with the BSF 2.0 facilitators at the recent workshop in St. Petersburg, Florida.

The conversations coming out of our recent Business Strategy Framework 2.0 workshop made one thing clear: participants believe this learning is worth your time.
See what the enthusiasm is about! Join us for Business Strategy Framework 1.0, December 4-5 in Orlando, immediately following the Annual Conference & Expo.
Bring the questions your leadership team is working through. How do you decide which opportunities to pursue? When should you strengthen, rethink, or retire a service? How do you make the best use of limited resources?
BSF 1.0 provides a practical framework for working through these decisions together. Attend with colleagues to build a shared approach you can continue using at your ESA.
