Support and Strategy
A Roadmap for Implementation

donna-milgram-executive-director-cropDear NSF WomenTech Educators Community,

I'm so excited to unveil our new Support and Strategy options to you. We are providing you with a variety of methods to ensure that you leave this training with an excellent recruitment and retention plan that will provide you with an effective road map for implementation.

With these Support and Strategy options, you’ll get answers to your specific questions from me and from your colleagues.  You’ll have help to brainstorm, strategize and troubleshoot, so you’re totally prepared to jump into action to implement your recruitment and retention plans. Plus, we have some special gifts to thank you for being an important member of our community.

I look forward to connecting with you in the three different ways described below!

Warmly,
donnamilgramfirstname

These calls will fill up quickly, so don't hesitate! If you see fewer than six times available, that's because others have already signed up.

Online Forums


The Online Learning Community includes asynchronous online forums dedicated to recruitment and retention where you can refine your plans with the help of feedback from Donna Milgram and other training participants. All fellowship participants are required to submit their plans in the online forum.

I will be selecting the group's top three plans for recruitment and the top three plans for retention as an example to others. Those selected will be featured in our community and receive the Women in Technology Outreach Kit as a gift.
