PRE-CONFERENCE EVENT: CAAWS SKILLS DAY
The Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women and Sport and Physical Activity (CAAWS) is a not-for profit organization working to encourage girls and women to participate and lead in sport and physical activity.

Immediately prior to the Conference, CAAWS is offering a professional development day tailored to women, including a welcome session to share Canadian Leadership success stories. This will be followed by ten workshops including: conflict resolution, effective communication, time management, expectations of women in leadership, recruiting volunteers, getting the media to support your cause, presentation skills and confidence building, how to organize an effective meeting, working effectively with men, and mentoring-succession planning. Participants will have the opportunity to choose four workshops to attend. Click here for workshop description.

The information presented in these sessions will help participants develop or enhance their personal leadership skills. All workshop presenters will provide written material from their session and all Skills Day participants will receive the written material from all ten sessions. Some of the CAAWS Skills Day workshops will be offered in both English and French. One may be offered in Spanish.

Participants are also invited to a reception on the evening of May 15. This will provide an opportunity to reconnect with old friends and make some new ones prior to the CAAWS workshops.
