"Our ancestors sailed across a vast ocean, one third of the earth's surface, and to accomplish this great feat they needed the vision to see islands over the horizon, the ability to plan intentional voyages of discovery, the discipline to train physically and mentally, the courage to take risks, and a deep sense of aloha to bind the crew together during the voyage. These are Hawaiian values but they are also universal values. They worked in the past and they will work today" (

NCDA Teleconference/Webinar
By Mary Ann Powell
“The New World of Work: Public Policy and Counselor Responses” is the focus of this year’s teleconference/webinar scheduled for Wednesday, July 9, 2:50 – 5:00 pm. History informs us that work will always be significant to the individual/society. Work, or lack of work, affects virtually everyone. Changes in the world of work require dramatic responses from public policy leaders and counselors. This teleconference discussion focuses on employability topics, lifelong learning, multiculturalism, and spirituality, discovering meaning and purpose in life/work. . . .
NCDA President Darrell Anthony Luzzo invites you to join your colleagues for this year’s International teleconference/webinar on July 9, 2008. We encourage your national and international involvement by hosting a local participant site for this special event. During the past three years, hundreds of colleagues in over 40 participant sites from Maui to Maine and Massachusetts, and Australia to Paris were involved, and participants earned CEU’s from the convenience of their local settings. Now is the perfect time to be thinking about collaborating with your local agencies, schools, colleges, and other appropriate community organizations that might have an interest in participating in the 2008 NCDA teleconference/webinar that will be held during the NCDA Annual Global Conference in Washington DC. . . . Each participant site will be able to experience the teleconference, including:
• a live webinar with PowerPoints,
• excellent handouts, and a
• list of resources and suggested readings for staff development activities.
This program can serve as a catalyst for a longer workshop your local CDA or agency may want to develop in conjunction with the main videoconference/webinar topics. In past years, many sites across the globe have planned their local workshops as a wrap-around this activity.
