Location
This is a virtual workshop and will take place via Zoom.
The New Program Directors Accelerator is designed for PDs and associate PDs with fewer than two years in their position or fewer than five years in PA education.

During a series of 5 virtual sessions, you will meet with the invited speakers, small group facilitators, and your colleagues to accelerate your knowledge and skills to support your role as a PD. The workshop leaders, who are experts in their area, will share their information, experiences, and lessons learned, and will guide discussions around critical topics for new PDs. Session topics include:
- Leadership
- Data Analysis
- Program Evaluation
- Budgeting
- Negotiation

No, we recommend that you register yourself for the workshop. Some workshops require you to answer questions during the registration process. These questions are intended to provide the facilitator(s) with information to enhance your workshop experience, such as particular learning goals for the workshop. Since the answers to these questions are unique to you, please register yourself so that you can provide the most helpful answers to these questions.
