2022 BELL Team Application
Training for Building Effective Local Leadership Teams (BELL Teams)
Would you like your local association to be more effective in recruiting and engaging members? Would you like your local to be able to really make a difference in solving the problems that face your members each day?
Well, AEA feels the same way! The BELL Team program will utilize a new approach to building a strong leadership team for each local that participates. This special training will be highly interactive and will involve team members in gaining new knowledge and working for three days to put together a strategic plan that will build a more effective local to meet the needs of its members.
To be accepted to this special training during the AEA Leadership Conference (June 16 - 18, 2022) in Mobile, a local must be willing to send a team of four to six local association leaders (example: president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, executive board members, association reps). From the teams that apply, AEA will select up to five teams to participate in this special training. If your local is selected and participates, AEA will pay room and tax for up to two rooms for two nights. AEA will waive the usual Leadership Conference registration fee for each member of the team that is selected and participates.
Any questions about the application process may be directed to Audrey Ravinia at 1-800-392-5839, audreyr@alaedu.org or FAX 334-263-5913.
