This invitation-only, pre-conference work shop is designed for Admissions Directors of GMAC Member Schools.  In this, its seventh year, we’ve revamped the program based on your feedback.  ADS will still provide the opportunity for you to network, share, and learn with colleagues through facilitated discussions, but we’ve also added some expert-led breakout sessions so that you can explore certain topics in depth.  Attendance is limited.

Tentative Agenda: Thursday, June 18, 2009
8:45 - 9:30 am  Informal Breakfast
9:45 - 11:45 am  Expert Presentations and Facilitated Discussions
11:45 - 12:45 pm  Luncheon
1:00 - 3:00 pm  Expert Presentations and Facilitated Discussions
3:15 - 3:45 pm  Wrap Up

Expert-led topics will include Media Training, Presentation Skills and Emotional Intelligence. Registrants will be surveyed for facilitated discussion topic ideas and interest in facilitating.
