Major Functions and Responsibilities

  • Conduct an in-depth review of the CEP Workshop materials for your entire workshop and take an even deeper dive into the section(s) of the materials for which you are responsible
  • Contribute to the overall training plan for your workshop delivery

All NAFSA leaders are expected to foster an inclusive environment and seek to learn and understand the multicultural perspectives of the committee/team, our constituents, and stakeholders to align with the NAFSA Diversity and Inclusion Statement. An expression of leadership in this area includes:

  • Engaging the committee/team to identify and implement strategies for increased personal outreach, recruitment, and onboarding for all, especially diversity-focused and underrepresented groups
  • Increasing accessibility and participation from underrepresented groups, individuals, and institutions
  • Expanding educational content within the committees’ purview through intentional outreach and recruitment of diverse presenters and institutional types in partnership with various NAFSA groups

 
NAFSA: Association of International Educators is a professional association driven by its Strategic Plan as established by the Board of Directors.  The success of the association depends on the productive engagement of three key constituencies: the Board, member-leaders, and staff.  Member-leaders are advocates for the association’s mission, vision, values, diversity and inclusion, and ethical principles. They align their work closely with the Board through its vice presidents and with staff to carry out the Strategic Plan. Member-leader roles are guided by objectives assigned by the Strategic Plan, by outcome accountabilities outlined in the Standing Rules, and by position descriptions for specific roles.

Commitment

Varies, but includes weeks/months of planning and preparing prior to workshop delivery. A post-delivery debrief/feedback session is generally part of the involvement and the time.

How to Get Involved

CEP Workshop trainers are selected by Lead Trainers according to each Trainer Corps member’s training profile. Each Trainer Corps member self-reports the workshops they have content expertise to train, which is verified by the Application Review Team and/or Trainer Corps chair/-designate
