KSAPCO Spring Conference: A Conference Full of Solutions

  By Elora Randleas, Sedgwick County Emergency Communications - While we may not be able to solve ALL of your problems, there are a lot of great courses available at the Kansas Chapter Spring Conference April 7-9 that will offer you solutions!

Do you feel like you're stagnant, waiting on something to change in your life? Operation GROW is the course for you! We will be discussing ways to establish personal goals, empower your team and create strategies for growth, and improve your work-life balance.

Are you tasked with employee investigations and you aren't sure that you're doing them correctly? Employee Investigations if the course for you! This course will discuss Garrity and how that case law applies to whether or not your employees have an obligation to be truthful. It will also cover how to conduct an investigation, notifying witnesses, conducting interviews, and writing reports.

Does your agency have morale issues (and honestly, which agency doesn't struggle with this at some point)? Morale is the course for you! This course is going to discuss toxic emotions, how to identify them and what to do with them, as well as FREE or low cost ways to reward co-workers and show them appreciation.

Do you lie awake at night worrying about NextGen 9-1-1? We've got several courses addressing that issue including "Why a Hosted NG9-1-1 Solution Might Be Right for Your PSAP", "Taking the Worry Out of Your Migration to Next Gen 9-1-1", and "NG9-1-1 GIS Data: What to Plan For!" among others.

And don't forget the awesome opportunity to attend the FREE Project Management workshop being offered on April 10th in conjunction with the conference. Whether you have a project already planned or underway (NG9-1-1, Digital System, Rebanding, etc) or just want to be prepared to take the lead on a future project, this course is for you! Space is limited to please email Elora Randleas (erandlea@sedgwick.gov) for further.
