>> Dear PLDI Core Training Graduates:
>>
>> Happy New Year! I hope that all of you enjoyed your holiday season and are setting the tone for a wonderful 2015. A great way to start the year is to apply for the upcoming Positive Leadership Development Institute (PLDI) Communication Skills Training
>> on Feb 20-22, 2015 at the Vancouver Airport Marriott in Richmond. This training is only open to graduates of the Core Leadership Training (formerly known as "Level I").
>>
>> The Communications Skills Training will explore the following topics through presentations, group work and discussions:
>> 5 practices & 10 Commitments
>> Structured Feedback
>> Effective Meetings
>> Active Listening
>> Dealing with Difficult Situations & Distracting Behaviours
>> Triggers
>> Facilitation Skills
>> Presentation Skills/Public Speaking
>> Practicum - Participants are given the opportunity to develop and deliver a short presentation
>> The deadline for receipt of applications is Wednesday, January 7th by 4:00pm.
>>
>>
>> It must be emphasized that the upcoming Communication Skills Training, like the Core Leadership Training before it, is a professional development opportunity - not a retreat. The training will take place over the course of three days - and these days are very structured and intensive. While there are scheduled breaks, the days are quite long and people attending the training are expected to be present and participating for the duration. As with the Core Training, this event is recommended for people whose physical and mental health is at a place that they can fully participate.
>>
>> Please read this email carefully, as well as the Code of Conduct and Financial Guidelines, attached to this email, and available on the website, prior to completing an application.
>>
>>
>> Who is eligible to apply to attend the Communication Skills Training?
>> The Communications Skills Training is only available to PHAs who have completed the Core Leadership Training (formerly known as Level I).
>>
>>
>> What is the application process for this training?
>> There are a total of 18 spots available for the training. All persons interested in taking the training must complete and submit an application form.
>>
>>
>> PLDI Communication Skills Training Application (pdf)
>> PLDI Communication Skills Training Application (word)
>>
>>
>> Due to limited administrative resources, to promote efficiency and to make things easier for our volunteer Selection Committee members, we require that all applications be submitted electronically. We thank you kindly in advance for complying with this requirement.
>>
>> IMPORTANT: Applications should be sent to the following email address: leadership at pacificaidsnetwork.org. Applications should be saved and sent in the following format: "Lastname_Leadership" - example, "Jones_Leadership". If scanning facilities are available, the application can be signed, scanned and sent as a PDF. However, it can also be simply worked on as a word document, and then emailed (we will obtain the necessary signatures subsequently from all successful applicants).
>>
>>
>> By submitting an application, a person is indicating that they agree to the Code of Conduct and the Financial Guidelines, as well as a SAMPLE copy of the Release of Liability, to be signed at registration at the start of the training.
>>
>>
>> Who will decide who gets to attend the training?
>> All applications will be reviewed by our volunteer PLDI Steering Committee comprised of PHAs and it is the Steering Committee that will make the determination as to the successful applicants. Applicants will be notified as to whether or not they have been accepted to the program on or before January 9th 2015. A small wait-list will be generated as well in the event there are persons who decide in the end they are not able or willing to attend the training, and who provide us with the required 5 business days of notice.
>>
>>
>> Who will be delivering the training?
>> PAN works in an ongoing partnership with the OAN to deliver the PLDI trainings here in BC and in Ontario. This particular training will be delivered by BC trainers Kath Webster and Dakota Descoteaux, and trainer-in-training, John Dub.
>>
>>
>> What costs are covered? What costs are not covered?
>> Travel:
>> PAN will reimburse long-distance or local ground or air travel to and from Richmond for people traveling from outside of the Lower Mainland; For participants traveling from within the Lower Mainland Translink expenses will be reimbursed to the training facility in Richmond for those without a monthly transit pass. Travel bookings are the responsibility of the individual applicant, and/or their agency, and a reimbursement expense claim must be made following the training.
>>
>>
>> For people traveling from out of Vancouver and flying to the Vancouver International Airport (main terminal or the south terminal) there is a free shuttle from the airport to the hotel, and the hotel back to the airport, and therefore taxi or transit costs for this leg of the trip will not be eligible for reimbursement (i.e. we ask that you take the shuttle).
>>
>> If you have concerns about travelling to attend the training please consult with Sarah Jones, PAN's Administrative Coordinator.
>>
>> Hotel Accommodation:
>> At this time PAN is only able to guarantee hotel accommodation for participants travelling to the training from outside of the Lower Mainland (not including Mission, Abbotsford and Chilliwack). However, PAN recognizes that the training days are long and that travelling each day can represent a barrier to participation for some people living in the Lower Mainland. If you live in the Lower Mainland and would like to request a shared hotel room to better facilitate your participation please indicate this on your application. Please Note: Single rooms will not be available for Lower Mainland participants.
>>
>> This is not a guarantee that a room can be provided, and due to our limited budget it will depend on the number of requests.
>> PAN will book all accommodation for persons travelling from outside of the Lower Mainland to attend the
>>
>> Communication Skills Training. Accommodation will be based on shared occupancy. If you wish to have a single room a charge of $75.00 per night will be levied and an invoice will be sent to you following the training. Please note that failure to pay the invoice will result in your exclusion from future PAN sponsored events, including future Leadership training opportunities.
>>
>> For persons travelling from Mission, Abbotsford and Chilliwack that are accepted to the training you will be automatically placed in a shared room (unless you choose to be in a single room at a cost of $75.00 per night).
>>
>>
>> Meals:
>> PAN will provide the following meals for all participants.
>> PAN will provide the following meals:
>> o Day 1 - dinner
>> o Day 2 - breakfast, lunch and snacks
>> o Day 3 - breakfast, lunch and snacks
>> PAN is not in a position to provide per diems, or provide for meals outside of the training days, as outlined above. Those costs must be borne by the PAN member organization/agency, or the individual.
>>
>> Childcare:
>> We will also provide child care subsidies wherever possible ($50 per day) and the need for childcare must be indicated on your application form. A signed invoice from your childcare provider must be attached to your reimbursement form.
>>
>>
>> The above noted costs are the only costs that PAN will cover for the this training - all other costs are the responsibility of the participant.
>>
>>
>> What is the fee?
>> There is no registration fee for the Communication Skills Training.
>>
>>
>> "No Show" and Cancellation Policy
>> We want to stress that at present, we only have the resources to provide this training to a very limited number of PHAs in BC and PAN is allocating finite and limited resources to make this training a reality.
>>
>> PAN therefore requires 5 business days notice of a person's inability to attend the training, in order to contact persons on the wait list and ensure that all training spots are filled.
>>
>> In the event that a person does not arrive at the training hotel at the designated meeting time on February 20th, 21st, or 22nd or fails to provide 5 business days notice of inability to attend (i.e. by 1:00pm. on Friday, February 13th), PAN will invoice the individual for 100% of their training costs including any travel charges incurred by PAN, as well as their accommodation and meal costs. Please note that this includes people based in the Lower Mainland.
>>
>> Exceptions to this are unexpected medical or health emergencies and family emergencies.
>>
>> If after having read all of the information above, and having reviewed the Application Form, Code of Conduct and Financial Guidelines, you still have questions, please email them to sarah at pacificaidsnetwork.org.
>>
>> Thank you and we look forward to receiving your application.
