SPAC Coordinator Activities 2011: kristi Brooks 11/16/2018 SPAC Coordinator Activities 2011: kristi Brooks Organized SPAC at: Central Michigan, Feb-19-2011 Michigan State, Feb-21-2011 Valparaiso, Apr-04-2011 Joint Conference between U. Minnesota, SD state, U.Wisconsin-Stout, Feb-17-2011 All of these events were a 1-day, 2-3 speaker. What is particularly encouraging is that CMU is already in the planning phases for their 2nd S-PAC and Wayne State never held one before our SPAC Committee held a multi-univeristy event there a little over a year ago.  Advertising pays off! For 2011, I'd like some help in contacting a student organizer at University of Nebraska, Lincoln, and I'd like to get both NDSU and UND to plan an S-PAC.  These goals are in addition to the continuing support of those universties that typically hold one S-PAC every year. Encouragement of Section Leader to reach out to Student Branches and include them in professional activities at section level SPAC = Student Professional Awareness Conference SPAVE = Student Professional Awareness Ventures SPAW = Student Professional Awareness Workshop 16-Nov-18
