<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

Men’s and women’s doubles take place Friday, April 10, followed by mixed doubles on Saturday, April 11. The cost per team is $100.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>“RISE is always looking for new ways to meet the needs of families in our community who would benefit from the therapy services we offer. The number of families seeking services continues to increase beyond our program’s current capacity,” said Andi Gillen, director of the UA RISE Center. “We believe it is our responsibility to expand the programs we offer. The funds raised at this event will allow us to maintain our high-quality early intervention and preschool program and creatively seek ways to reach more families to give all children the opportunity to meet their maximum potential.” </p>

<p>The cost per child to attend RISE five days a week has exceeded $20,000. While RISE receives funding from UA, an endowment and has contracts with local school systems, fundraisers like the golf and tennis tournaments are crucial to the school’s success. There are eight RISE programs across the country and RISE Tuscaloosa is the only program where all children needing therapy services continue to attend RISE Center at no cost. Fundraising support has been instrumental in the program’s longevity and its ability to provide much needed early intervention services to children of varying abilities in the Tuscaloosa area.</p>

In this roundtable led by Isabelle Drewelow, we’ll explore the role of personal presence in teaching and discuss how anecdotes, stories and humor can humanize you as an instructor and strengthen student engagement.

This year’s there is “Navigating Complex Times: Opportunities and Challenges for Distance Education.” </p>

<p> </p>

<p>The collective work of social work researchers, educators, practitioners and advocates foster a comprehensive approach to solving today’s social challenges. These collaborations generate valuable insights into how social work empowers vulnerable populations and drives systemic change. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Why the Social Work Distance Education Virtual Conference? </p>

<p> </p>

<p>Social work is a multifaceted profession that integrates research, teaching, practice and policy to drive meaningful progress. Blending these elements is critical for advancing the field – equipping new practitioners with essential skills, improving intervention strategies and preparing professionals to champion policy change. As technology becomes increasingly central to social work education and practice, distance learning must empower students to connect with their environments and engage with a broader, more connected world.  </p>

Men’s and women’s doubles take place Friday, April 10, followed by mixed doubles on Saturday, April 11. The cost per team is $100.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>“RISE is always looking for new ways to meet the needs of families in our community who would benefit from the therapy services we offer. The number of families seeking services continues to increase beyond our program’s current capacity,” said Andi Gillen, director of the UA RISE Center. “We believe it is our responsibility to expand the programs we offer. The funds raised at this event will allow us to maintain our high-quality early intervention and preschool program and creatively seek ways to reach more families to give all children the opportunity to meet their maximum potential.” </p>

<p>The cost per child to attend RISE five days a week has exceeded $20,000. While RISE receives funding from UA, an endowment and has contracts with local school systems, fundraisers like the golf and tennis tournaments are crucial to the school’s success. There are eight RISE programs across the country and RISE Tuscaloosa is the only program where all children needing therapy services continue to attend RISE Center at no cost. Fundraising support has been instrumental in the program’s longevity and its ability to provide much needed early intervention services to children of varying abilities in the Tuscaloosa area.</p>

Slow Art Day is a global movement that centers around engaging with art at a slower, more intentional pace.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>This year, we encourage guests to view the house itself as a piece of art – one that has been at the center of The University of Alabama since the beginning! Participants will be able to reflect on the memories they have of the Gorgas House or spend time creating new ones. Guests can express their memories of the house through art by painting, drawing, coloring, or writing with provided supplies. No experience needed! Come sit and enjoy time at the most historic building at The University of Alabama.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Admission is free for this event and all supplies are included.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Location</p>

<p>The Gorgas House Museum is located at 810 Capstone Drive, Tuscaloosa, AL 35487, just off the Quadrangle of The University of Alabama campus (one block west of the Amelia Gayle Gorgas Library, at the corner of McCorvey and Capstone Drives).</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Parking</p>

<p>Parking on Saturdays is free in University of Alabama spaces.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

Clinical training and experience are needed to use the DSM-5-TR. The diagnostic criteria utilized in the DSM-5-TR identify symptoms, behaviors, cognitive functions, personality traits, physical signs, syndrome combinations, and durations that require clinical expertise to differentiate from normal life variations and transient responses to stress. Reliable diagnoses are essential for guiding not only treatment recommendations but also psychopharmacology. This training presents information concerning the criteria used in the differential diagnosis of mental disorders recognized in the DSM-5-TR. The training is intended to teach participants how to effectively utilize the DSM-5-TR manual. You will become familiar with the mental health disorders contained in the DSM-5-TR and will be presented opportunities to differentially diagnose disorders utilizing practice vignettes.
<br> </p>

<p>Workshop Objectives:
<br>Upon successful completion of this training, individuals will be able to:</p>

<p>Effectively utilize the DSM-5-TR Describe the broad categories of mental disorders and the criteria for their differential diagnosis as specified in the DSM-5-TR Demonstrate capacity in differential diagnosis utilizing practice vignettes </p>

<p>Workshop Materials:</p>

<p>Participants are strongly encouraged to have a DSM-5 or DSM-5-TR (preferred) available for reference during this training. </p>

<p>**This training satisfies the ASBSWE licensure renewal requirements based on the amendments made to Chapter 850-X-8 Continuing Education, requiring an additional 3.0 clinical contact hours of training on the DSM-5-TR for clinical social workers.</p>

Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

Build a foundation of project management skills from a strategic, organizational, and tactical viewpoint.
<br> </p>

<p>The Project Management Certificate Program gives you the skills necessary to assess the requirements, develop the work in a logical flow, enlist organizational support and thrive in a high-demand workplace. In these workshops, participants will learn and practice the essential skills required to successfully deliver projects. The curriculum, which aligns with the Project Management Institute’s framework, is specifically designed to focus on the practical application of concepts. Upon successful completion of the three workshops, participants will be able to demonstrate, by practical application, the concepts and skills inherent in successful project management environments.
<br> 
<br>This program is ideal for leaders who want to perform at a high level, consistently producing superior results. It will benefit new and longtime project managers and is ideal for capturing Professional Development Units to maintain Project Management Professional certification requirements.
<br> </p>

<p>To benefit most from this program, we strongly recommend participants attend the Developing Project Management Skills workshop or an equivalent course prior to attending the Advanced Project Management Skills with Simulation and Building and Sustaining Project Management Best Practices workshops.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

Build a foundation of project management skills from a strategic, organizational, and tactical viewpoint.
<br> </p>

<p>The Project Management Certificate Program gives you the skills necessary to assess the requirements, develop the work in a logical flow, enlist organizational support and thrive in a high-demand workplace. In these workshops, participants will learn and practice the essential skills required to successfully deliver projects. The curriculum, which aligns with the Project Management Institute’s framework, is specifically designed to focus on the practical application of concepts. Upon successful completion of the three workshops, participants will be able to demonstrate, by practical application, the concepts and skills inherent in successful project management environments.
<br> 
<br>This program is ideal for leaders who want to perform at a high level, consistently producing superior results. It will benefit new and longtime project managers and is ideal for capturing Professional Development Units to maintain Project Management Professional certification requirements.
<br> </p>

<p>To benefit most from this program, we strongly recommend participants attend the Developing Project Management Skills workshop or an equivalent course prior to attending the Advanced Project Management Skills with Simulation and Building and Sustaining Project Management Best Practices workshops.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

Build a foundation of project management skills from a strategic, organizational, and tactical viewpoint.
<br> </p>

<p>The Project Management Certificate Program gives you the skills necessary to assess the requirements, develop the work in a logical flow, enlist organizational support and thrive in a high-demand workplace. In these workshops, participants will learn and practice the essential skills required to successfully deliver projects. The curriculum, which aligns with the Project Management Institute’s framework, is specifically designed to focus on the practical application of concepts. Upon successful completion of the three workshops, participants will be able to demonstrate, by practical application, the concepts and skills inherent in successful project management environments.
<br> 
<br>This program is ideal for leaders who want to perform at a high level, consistently producing superior results. It will benefit new and longtime project managers and is ideal for capturing Professional Development Units to maintain Project Management Professional certification requirements.
<br> </p>

<p>To benefit most from this program, we strongly recommend participants attend the Developing Project Management Skills workshop or an equivalent course prior to attending the Advanced Project Management Skills with Simulation and Building and Sustaining Project Management Best Practices workshops.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

Deficiency in people skills is perhaps the greatest weakness within the maintenance function. It is incumbent upon the maintenance manager and supervisor to have and practice effective leadership and management skills. This session focuses on providing these skills and practical guidelines that will help them involve and motivate their workforce, and deal with conflicts and other challenges.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Maintenance Management Certificate Program provides a comprehensive management development program for existing and aspiring maintenance management professionals. The program is aimed at current and aspiring maintenance managers, engineers, supervisors and planners, but is applicable to all who have a direct interest in or are affected by maintenance performance and its impact on the enterprise. While the program is maintenance-centric, the methods, standard processes and logic are applicable to all organizational functions. This comprehensive program is applicable to all industries and facilities, as well as for single-plant or global enterprises.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

Deficiency in people skills is perhaps the greatest weakness within the maintenance function. It is incumbent upon the maintenance manager and supervisor to have and practice effective leadership and management skills. This session focuses on providing these skills and practical guidelines that will help them involve and motivate their workforce, and deal with conflicts and other challenges.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Maintenance Management Certificate Program provides a comprehensive management development program for existing and aspiring maintenance management professionals. The program is aimed at current and aspiring maintenance managers, engineers, supervisors and planners, but is applicable to all who have a direct interest in or are affected by maintenance performance and its impact on the enterprise. While the program is maintenance-centric, the methods, standard processes and logic are applicable to all organizational functions. This comprehensive program is applicable to all industries and facilities, as well as for single-plant or global enterprises.</p>

<p>Early bird price: $1,062 (expires exactly one month prior to program date)</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

And when we lose control of our patience it hurts not only us, but those around us. Impatience raises our stress levels and over time can even inflict physical harm to our bodies. But it seems that patience is a skill that is quickly diminishing, but one that constantly needs improving. You see examples of impatience and patience throughout each day; when you’re stuck in traffic, when you’re waiting in line for the grocery store, and when your children are taking too long to get ready for school in the morning. Even if you don’t rate your own level of personal patience as being very high, the good news is that with practice, you too can learn to be more patient in your life</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Target Audience</p>

<p>Anyone interested in learning how to become more patient in their lives.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Workshop Objectives</p>

<p>By the end of this workshop, you will:</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Identify the characteristics of impatience</p>

<p>• Uncover the signs of impatience and its effects</p>

<p>• Discern how to locate your personal impatience triggers</p>

<p>Identify methods to counter impatience</p>

<p>• Describe and employ procedures to manage the symptoms of impatience</p>

<p>Engage in the “Art of Intelligent Waiting”</p>

<p>• Describe how to wait with purpose, intent, and belief</p>

<p><a href="https://hr.ua.edu/employee-resources/performance-management/behavioral">https://hr.ua.edu/employee-resources/performance-management/behavioral</a></p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join Tal Lieber, Director of Informal Resolution Services for UA for this new offering designed to help you learn practical tools to help others resolve workplace conflict.</p>

<p>The goal of Necessary Knowledge is to learn a new way of thinking about conflict. In this course you will build a new "mental-map" that will serve as your guide for making moment-to-moment choices about how to behave in conflict situations and how to manage them more effectively. It leads to productive and effective relationships at work and at home.</p>

<p>In the first half of this course, we will define conflict and understand how our own responses to conflict impact relationships. In the second half of this course, we will apply what we've learned and use it in a powerful communication tool to help others resolve workplace conflict. Third-Party Resolution is a core competency for every supervisor, manager, team leader, and human resource specialist. The key to managing conflict is to address it at its lowest level. This course will teach participants how to proactively manage workplace conflict.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

It was developed with the specific goal of supporting the use of best practices in parent-mediated interventions. This 12-hour Advanced Course is open to providers who would like to use the Project ImPACT intervention with autistic children and those with other social communication needs. The workshop will use a combination of lecture, roleplay and small group discussion to teach participants how to use the Project ImPACT Second Edition curriculum to teach families how to promote their child’s social communication during daily routines and activities. The goal is for participants to become familiar with the intervention so that they can use it within their organization directly with the children that they serve. In addition, participants will be taught how to implement the program in a parent-training format within their organization.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

It was developed with the specific goal of supporting the use of best practices in parent-mediated interventions. This 12-hour Advanced Course is open to providers who would like to use the Project ImPACT intervention with autistic children and those with other social communication needs. The workshop will use a combination of lecture, roleplay and small group discussion to teach participants how to use the Project ImPACT Second Edition curriculum to teach families how to promote their child’s social communication during daily routines and activities. The goal is for participants to become familiar with the intervention so that they can use it within their organization directly with the children that they serve. In addition, participants will be taught how to implement the program in a parent-training format within their organization.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

<p>Special thanks to the Alabama Museum of Natural History for their panel on the environmental history of cotton in the state. Additional thanks to The University of Alabama’s Department of Art and Art History for their help in curating the space.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

<br>Registration is required five (5) days before the session date.</p>

<p>This course is delivered on-site in the Employee Resource Center.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Behavioral Expectations Supported: Effective Communication,  Continuous Improvement, Collaboration</p>

<p><a href="https://hr.ua.edu/employee-resources/performance-management/behavioral">https://hr.ua.edu/employee-resources/performance-management/behavioral</a></p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join Tal Lieber, Director of Informal Resolution Services for UA for this new offering designed to help you learn practical tools to resolve conflict in the workplace.</p>

<p>The goal of Necessary Knowledge is to learn a new way of thinking about conflict. In this course you will build a new "mental-map" that will serve as your guide for making moment-to-moment choices about how to behave in conflict situations and how to manage them more effectively. It leads to productive and effective relationships at work and at home.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>In the first half of this course, we will define conflict and understand how our own responses to conflict impact relationships. In the second half of this course, we will apply what we've learned and use it as a practical communication tool for conducting Successful Conflict Conversations. Empowered with this technique, you will be able to take effective action to resolve most conflicts between yourself and others. The key to managing conflict is to address it as its lowest level. This simple four-step process allows a non-adversarial search for common ground to serve the common good.</p>

Learn by making actual project decisions.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>This workshop picks up where other traditional project management courses leave off. Participants learn to monitor a project using SimulTrain®, software that provides a simulation for planning and executing phases of a project. During project execution, participants are placed in common situations that generate stress and require timely decisions that affect not only project performance, but also team motivation. This workshop is focused on advanced project competencies, tools and techniques.</p>

<p>Learn more about the Project Management Certificate Program.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

During project execution, participants are placed in common situations that generate stress and require timely decisions that affect not only project performance, but also team motivation. This workshop is focused on advanced project competencies, tools and techniques.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

Learn by making actual project decisions.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>This workshop picks up where other traditional project management courses leave off. Participants learn to monitor a project using SimulTrain®, software that provides a simulation for planning and executing phases of a project. During project execution, participants are placed in common situations that generate stress and require timely decisions that affect not only project performance, but also team motivation. This workshop is focused on advanced project competencies, tools and techniques.</p>

<p>Learn more about the Project Management Certificate Program.</p>

<p>Project management principles apply to all lines of business, whether the work is formally declared a project or is just goal-oriented. The workshop is ideal for leaders who want to perform at a high level, consistently producing superior results.                  </p>

<p>For maximum benefit in the Project Management Certificate Program, we strongly recommend that participants attend the Developing Project Management Skills workshop or an equivalent course prior to attending the Advanced Project Management Skills with Simulation and Building and Sustaining Project Management Best Practices workshops.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Located in the Moore-Wilson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center, this exhibit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama. From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections, this exhibit features The Bicentennial Quilt, made by Yvonne Wells, which was created specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild, along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally, this exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of Alabama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the world-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. In the 1960s, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Freedom Quilting Bee, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Black women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nationwide, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community deeply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarkable cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.</p>

<br>-Registration is required five (5) days before your session start date.</p>

<p>-This course is for supervisors of non-student employees.</p>

<p>Behavioral Expectations Supported: Effective Communication, Collaboration, Continuous Improvement</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Join Tal Lieber, Director of Informal Resolution Services for UA for this new offering designed to help you learn practical tools to help others resolve workplace conflict.</p>

<p>The goal of Necessary Knowledge is to learn a new way of thinking about conflict. In this course you will build a new "mental-map" that will serve as your guide for making moment-to-moment choices about how to behave in conflict situations and how to manage them more effectively. It leads to productive and effective relationships at work and at home.</p>

<p>In the first half of this course, we will define conflict and understand how our own responses to conflict impact relationships. In the second half of this course, we will apply what we've learned and use it in a powerful communication tool to help others resolve workplace conflict. Third-Party Resolution is a core competency for every supervisor, manager, team leader, and human resource specialist. The key to managing conflict is to address it at its lowest level. This course will teach participants how to proactively manage workplace conflict.</p>

<p>The Maintenance Management Certificate Program provides a comprehensive management development program for existing and aspiring maintenance management professionals. The program is aimed at current and aspiring maintenance managers, engineers, supervisors and planners, but is applicable to all who have a direct interest in or are affected by maintenance performance and its impact on the enterprise.

Build a foundation of project management skills from a strategic, organizational, and tactical viewpoint.
<br> </p>

<p>The Project Management Certificate Program gives you the skills necessary to assess the requirements, develop the work in a logical flow, enlist organizational support and thrive in a high-demand workplace. In these workshops, participants will learn and practice the essential skills required to successfully deliver projects. The curriculum, which aligns with the Project Management Institute’s framework, is specifically designed to focus on the practical application of concepts. Upon successful completion of the three workshops, participants will be able to demonstrate, by practical application, the concepts and skills inherent in successful project management environments.
<br> 
<br>This program is ideal for leaders who want to perform at a high level, consistently producing superior results. It will benefit new and longtime project managers and is ideal for capturing Professional Development Units to maintain Project Management Professional certification requirements.
<br> </p>

<p>To benefit most from this program, we strongly recommend participants attend the Developing Project Management Skills workshop or an equivalent course prior to attending the Advanced Project Management Skills with Simulation and Building and Sustaining Project Management Best Practices workshops.</p>

<p>The Project Management Certificate Program gives you the skills necessary to assess the requirements, develop the work in a logical flow, enlist organizational support and thrive in a high-demand workplace. In these workshops, participants will learn and practice the essential skills required to successfully deliver projects. The curriculum, which aligns with the Project Management Institute’s framework, is specifically designed to focus on the practical application of concepts. Upon successful completion of the three workshops, participants will be able to demonstrate, by practical application, the concepts and skills inherent in successful project management environments.

<br>This program is ideal for leaders who want to perform at a high level, consistently producing superior results. It will benefit new and longtime project managers and is ideal for capturing Professional Development Units to maintain Project Management Professional certification requirements.

Social workers are uniquely positioned at the intersection of policy, practice and community, advocating for the rights and needs of vulnerable populations. This conference aims to unite social workers, mental health professionals, educators, policymakers and community leaders in a dynamic conversation about the critical role social work plays in advancing child and family well-being — both physically and mentally.</p>

We will spotlight best practices, emerging research, and real-world case studies that showcase the power of social work in improving outcomes for the most vulnerable members of our society.</p>

<p>This conference calls for action, insight, and collaboration to ensure that social workers continue to lead efforts that uplift and protect the future of our children and families. Join us for a powerful experience of learning, sharing and mobilizing for change.</p>

Learn by making actual project decisions.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>This workshop picks up where other traditional project management courses leave off. Participants learn to monitor a project using SimulTrain®, software that provides a simulation for planning and executing phases of a project. During project execution, participants are placed in common situations that generate stress and require timely decisions that affect not only project performance, but also team motivation. This workshop is focused on advanced project competencies, tools and techniques.</p>

<p>Learn more about the Project Management Certificate Program.</p>

<p>Project management principles apply to all lines of business, whether the work is formally declared a project or is just goal-oriented. The workshop is ideal for leaders who want to perform at a high level, consistently producing superior results.</p>

<p>For maximum benefit in the Project Management Certificate Program, we strongly recommend that participants attend the Developing Project Management Skills workshop or an equivalent course prior to attending the Advanced Project Management Skills with Simulation and Building and Sustaining Project Management Best Practices workshops.</p>

MRO inventory adds millions more to the overall operating cost of the maintenance function as well as the plant. This session focuses on proven strategy, processes and methods to effectively manage this major expense. It is not intended to provide mastery of the unique skills required to procure, store and manage MRO inventory, but to provide the knowledge that a maintenance manager must know to assure these critical functions are properly designed, implemented and utilized in their operation.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Maintenance Management Certificate Program provides a comprehensive management development program for existing and aspiring maintenance management professionals. The program is aimed at current and aspiring maintenance managers, engineers, supervisors and planners, but is applicable to all who have a direct interest in or are affected by maintenance performance and its impact on the enterprise. While the program is maintenance-centric, the methods, standard processes and logic are applicable to all organizational functions. This comprehensive program is applicable to all industries and facilities, as well as for single-plant or global enterprises.</p>

<p>Early bird price: $1,062 (expires exactly one month prior to program date)</p>

<p> </p>

<p>This workshop picks up where other traditional project management courses leave off. Participants learn to monitor a project using SimulTrain®, software that provides a simulation for planning and executing phases of a project. During project execution, participants are placed in common situations that generate stress and require timely decisions that affect not only project performance, but also team motivation. This workshop is focused on advanced project competencies, tools and techniques.</p>

<p>Project management principles apply to all lines of business, whether the work is formally declared a project or is just goal-oriented. The workshop is ideal for leaders who want to perform at a high level, consistently producing superior results.</p>

<p>For maximum benefit in the Project Management Certificate Program, we strongly recommend that participants attend the Developing Project Management Skills workshop or an equivalent course prior to attending the Advanced Project Management Skills with Simulation and Building and Sustaining Project Management Best Practices workshops.</p>

MRO inventory adds millions more to the overall operating cost of the maintenance function as well as the plant. This session focuses on proven strategy, processes and methods to effectively manage this major expense. It is not intended to provide mastery of the unique skills required to procure, store and manage MRO inventory, but to provide the knowledge that a maintenance manager must know to assure these critical functions are properly designed, implemented and utilized in their operation.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>The Maintenance Management Certificate Program provides a comprehensive management development program for existing and aspiring maintenance management professionals. The program is aimed at current and aspiring maintenance managers, engineers, supervisors and planners, but is applicable to all who have a direct interest in or are affected by maintenance performance and its impact on the enterprise. While the program is maintenance-centric, the methods, standard processes and logic are applicable to all organizational functions. This comprehensive program is applicable to all industries and facilities, as well as for single-plant or global enterprises.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Early bird price: $1,062 (expires exactly one month prior to program date)</p>

This training is not exclusive to GFOAA members.</p>

<p>Purchasing is an accounting course. The objective is to familiarize the participant with accounts and techniques used to record and generate payments to specific companies or individuals for products or services that have been purchased on credit by your entity. Accounts payables are usually items that will be paid for in less than one year. This course counts as a 6-hour elective course toward the Certified Governmental Accounting Technician Certificate awarded by the Government Finance Officers Association of Alabama.</p>

<p>The program is aimed at current and aspiring maintenance managers, engineers, supervisors and planners, but is applicable to all who have a direct interest in or are affected by maintenance performance and its impact on the enterprise. While the program is maintenance-centric, the methods, standard processes and logic are applicable for all organizational functions. This comprehensive program is applicable to all industries and facilities, as well as for single-plant or global enterprises.</p>
