Following the success of our online registration process for last year’s luncheons and technical sessions, we are expanding our online payment processing to include seminars.  Online seminar registration will work in a very similar fashion.  You may register one person or multiple persons.  Your receipt will be an automated email acknowledging your registration, the specific event for which you registered and the amount paid.  We are encouraging everyone to use the online payment processing, as it will save time and effort. 

Charlotte Rovelstad continues in the role of Chapter Coordinator.  However, her duties have expanded beyond seminar registrations and coordination.  Your participation in the online seminar registration will help ensure that she has ample time to fulfill her new duties. 

If you have questions about this new process, please call Charlotte Rovelstad (206-947-8769) or Ruth Riddle (206-595-1216).

Effective Team Building and Group Decision-Making

Calling all:

Audit Staff, Supervisors, and Managers

Objectives:

Communication skills and team development strategies are essential for successful teamwork and effective group decision making.  While the concept of teamwork and its benefits are well known, team members within an organization often act in various ways contrary to achieving common goals and interests.  This course will focus on the social dynamics and stages of team building; methods to strengthen team communication to avoid team dysfunction; and strategies to manage group processes to improve overall performance and achieve common goals.  The course will feature methods for creating the right climate for teamwork and group decision making; activities to aid in team development; assessing team member strengths; assigning roles to foster effective team communication and decision processes; and strategies to confirm that decisions and actions reflect a true team consensus consistent with organizational objectives.

Participants will learn:

• Social dynamics of successful teams
• Strategies to overcome initial team dysfunction
• Five psychological principles of ineffective group decision making   
• Models and roles for consensus decision making

Instructor Biography:

Brian Estes and Susan Baugh have more than 60 years’ combined experience as auditors, consultants and trainers for professional associations such as the IIA, AGA, and  ASPA.   

Cancellation and Refund Policy:

You may cancel at any time. 100% of the prepaid fee will be refunded when cancellation is received up to 7 days prior to the class.  No refund will be given for cancellations received less than one week before the class begins.   Please notify us if you will be sending a substitute.

Our new online registration and payment processing allows you to register multiple people for the seminar and pay for everyone with one credit card transaction.   Just select the event for which you are registering, indicate the number of people attending (differentiating by member and nonmember), and our shopping cart will calculate your total fee.  When you check out, you will enter your credit card information.   On this same screen, you must complete the box that asks for member(s) name and event under “additional information required for processing” (see screen print below).  Please ensure that you indicate which seminar you are registering for on the same line.
