Afternoon Workshops

Open to All Levels

These two-hour workshops focus on applying systems-centered theory and methods in various contexts. In addition to your usual opportunity to sample workshops that look interesting, you can "specialize" by choosing to follow an organizational development, clinical, research, education, SAVI, theory & basics, or general track. The training tracks are identified in the program schedule. You also have Linda Solomon Scott (lscott1244@yahoo.com) and Susan Cassano (susancassano@sbcglobal.net) to consult about what events are most likely to meet your goals, given your particular interest and experience with SCT.
