Regional Workshops
SPARC offers customized in-person regional workshops and events throughout the year. We work with allied regional associations to develop and lead programs that support the ongoing work of auxiliary program professionals. Workshop content can include:
- Current best practices
- Trends in auxiliary programming
- Specific program area focus (ie. summer, after school, enrichment, etc.)
- Facilitated discussion of current challenges and opportunities
Interested individuals, schools, or associations should contact SPARC directly to discuss the creation of a regional workshop in your area. Please email info@SPARCnational.com.
