[Oafcs] Fwd: sent to sit &commit

[Sandra Laurenson]

Hello OAFCS members,

As you know if you attended our Annual Conference in March, OAFCS and
OATFACS have jointly hired a marketing firm to help us develop and
implement a communication plan to generate support for family and consumer
sciences education and to recruit new teachers. A group of OATFACS teachers
have volunteered to serve on a "Sit and Commit" Committee to help move this
plan forward.

I'm hoping that some of you will be able to join in that effort by
attending the Sit and Commit meeting on Thursday, June 11. (Please see the
details below.) I apologize for the late notice. If you are unable to
attend, but would like to participate in the future, please let me know.

*Thank you for stepping up to meet on June 11 for the Sit & Commit meeting!*


We'll meet from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm
in the FFA Building at the Ohio Expo Center (717 E 17th Ave, Columbus, OH
43211)


Lunch will be catered but you will need to pay $10.00 on arrival. If you
prefer to bring your own lunch, I need to know so I have an accurate meal
count.


Have $5.00 cash available for parking--sometimes it is not collected but
it's best to be prepared just in case.


You will need to bring your laptop or other device as you will be given a
research assignment to begin.


In the morning our work will be to develop an understanding of the public
and private values of FCS, research to collect data that supports the
public values of FCS, discuss ideas for best ways to share this information.


In the afternoon Tom Speaks from the Impact Group, our marketing partner,
will share with you the results of the work done this school year and how
we can use this information to market FCS.


The work from this day will be used to help formulate a plan on how we can
bring every FCS teacher in Ohio on board with information and strategies
for building a more positive image of FCS that strengthens our role in
education across Ohio.


Please take a moment and reply back  by Saturday to confirm your attendance
on Thursday and your lunch option.


In case of any last minute issues, call my cell: 330.812.4336

See you soon!
