Title of the presentation:
When I Grow Up, I Want to be a Registrar

Description of the presentation:

Have you ever heard anyone say, “When I Grow up, I want to be a Registrar?” If not, why not?

Do you have concerns about succession planning in registrarial affairs? What about the large number of retirements we have seen and continue to anticipate—retirees who have been in our business and carry valuable institutional, provincial and national history in our field? Do you fret because you are losing valuable employees to other areas in the institution or to employers outside of the institution because opportunities for professional growth in our field is limited? Are you unable to meet the specific professional development needs of the various generations of employees in your area of work? Do you have individuals in various positions who would benefit from “hard” skills in their area of expertise?

If so, then this session is for you! If you are interested in contributing your knowledge or joining a working group to develop curriculum for registrarial affairs professional development in Canada, please join in.
