Teamwork: Creating and Sustaining Collaborative Working Relationships
March 14, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am
$50About the Workshop:
Teamwork has become a buzz word in all professional worlds. The importance of developing and sustaining collective team projects and activities drives the work in the nonprofit world. Often we believe we are forging ahead as a team, until it’s time to access our work or evaluate our success and that is when we begin to understand the difference between a team and a staff of “independent dynamic agents”. The focus of this workshop will be the work of a team leader in fostering and sustaining a true team, assessing our perceptions versus the reality of teamwork, and acquiring the skill set to develop, evaluate and implement a team approach in work.
This is an in-person workshop in St. Louis, MO.
About the Presenter: Trent Ball
Trent Ball serves as the inaugural Senior Director, Postsecondary Equity and Attainment, for the Missouri College and Career Attainment Network (MOCAN). MOCAN exists to ensure Missouri students who could most benefit from education beyond high school have what they need to earn a credential leading to a rewarding career. MOCAN is built on the success of two prior initiatives: Missouri College Access Network and St. Louis Graduates. MOCAN is a network of institutions, organizations, and professionals committed to greater equity in college and career access, affordability, and completion. By working for change at the institutional and systems levels, MOCAN aspires to create a postsecondary education system where outcomes are no longer predictable by race or socio-economic status.
As Senior Director, Mr. Ball leads MOCAN’s postsecondary attainment strategy including the Postsecondary Equity Network (PEN), as well as the organization’s research agenda and advocacy work. Prior to joining MOCAN, Trent retired from Southeast Missouri State University where he served as Associate Provost and provided leadership and management of the Academic Support Centers, including Educational Access Programs, Learning Assistance Programs, and the TRIO Programs (McNair Scholars and Student Support Services).
