Affinity Groups - Monday, February 6 - 3-4:15 p.m.
A major component of adult learning comes via peer interaction. The act of sharing one’s own experiences and learning about the experiences of others fuels creative thought, gives new ideas and builds relationships that lead to future benefit. A facilitator will lead, in dialogue, the attending group of development professionals.
