Clifton, New Jersey, USA – The RYS Educators Conference was held from Nov. 29 - Dec. 4 in the UPF New York office and in the Wellesley Hotel, Clifton, NJ. Attending this conference were core staff John Gehring, Carol Pobanz and Daniel Bessel along with long-time RYS associates Ravidra Gelhena, Fazida Razak, Marshal deSouza and RYS educators and advisors Drs. Ron Burr and Sherry Hartman-Burr, Subhan Burton, and Ana Olson.
A new addition to this group was a professional Organization Developer who volunteered his time to provide us with a much needed and appreciated service, leading us through advanced team building exercises and teaching us communications skills.
Because our department seems to be growing so rapidly, we felt the need to further standardize our educational plan and create a manual that project leaders can use as a guideline for any future RYS/Peace Park projects.
In addition to implementing our training and promoting the creation of the education manually. Walter also guided a managerial team in plans and timetables for systems development of marketing, outreach, staff training and fundraising.
