Where Does the Time Go? @ Via Live Virtual Education
Oct 13 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm

The Candidates Guidance Committee Presents Where Does the Time Go?

When: Wednesday, October 13th @ 4PM

Where:  Via Zoom

This is a FREE event but registration is required. Registered participants will be sent a log-in link prior to the event.

About the Program

Earlier this year, the Candidates Guidance Committee sent out a survey which identified the biggest roadblock to designation was planning time to complete the requirements. This program will provide practical advice to assist with completing the comprehensive exam and demonstration of knowledge requirement.

Although all of us like to think we can “manage time”, there are definitely points in our lives, whether in relationships, family, work, education (and the multiple combinations of these interactions), where it feels like time is “managing us”.

In this webinar, we will take a look at how the hours of a week can be better organized, managed, and utilized to avoid interruptions, procrastinations, and delays in getting things done. We will examine what might be putting folks in the position of being “managed by time” and, hopefully, gain some insight into how participants can more effectively “manage time”.

Guest Speaker

Bob Mulvey is an advisor and educator with over 35 years of experience in postsecondary education. He has designed curriculum and done presentations and workshops on time management, project management, and career preparation for college students, faculty, and staff, as well as for a variety of community based organizations. He is a retired associate professor from the Professional Music Business department at Berklee College of Music in Boston.

NEW SEMINAR! 

As the world changes, so do processes and methods used in many businesses including the appraisal profession. While alternative appraisal services like bifurcated, hybrid, and desktop appraisals and evaluations aren’t new, they are becoming more popular. Many appraisers are uncertain about the general requirements of each service, how appraisal standards might apply, and how these services might create liability. This seminar will provide more clarity about the different services being requested and help you to decide if these services are for you. It will review the expectations of alternative appraisal services, potential uses, appraisal standard implications, scope of work, and liability concerns as it applies to residential and commercial assignments. And it will review evaluation formats and the business opportunities for them.
