Session 1 1:00–2:30 PM
101 PSP—PROFESSIONAL STANDARD PROGRAM
SIBYL HOOVER, CEOE
NAEOP PSP CHAIRMAN
What better way to reach for your Potential, have Pride in your
accomplishments, as you work toward the Purpose of achieving your
PSP Certification. This briefing will teach you what is required;
take you step-by-step through the application process; give you
tips on having the right documentation; and give you the motivation
needed to become a proud recipient. You will have the opportunity
to get answers to your questions and hear the questions of others.
Sibyl will show you just how easy the process can be and how rewarding
it will be when you receive your certification, personally and professionally.
102 GOVERNMENT PENSION OFFSET AND WINDFALL ELIMINATION PROVISION
JOHN MACPHERSON
Do your retirement benefits through your place of employment play
a part in the Social Security benefits you might be entitled to?
Not many people are aware of the ins and outs and twists and turns
of this little known situation in their retirement years. These
two laws, entitled the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and the Windfall
Elimination Provision (WEP), affect public employees who receive
a public pension from states that opted out of the Social Security
system for their employees. The GPO reduces the Social Security
spousal benefit an affected public employee can receive. Nine out
of ten public employees affected by the GPO lose their entire spousal
benefit. The WEP reduces an individual's own Social Security benefits
earned while working in a job covered by Social Security. Public
employees could lose up to sixty percent of the benefits they earned
themselves. The impact of these offsets is primarily felt in those
states in which public employees like educators are not covered
by Social Security. However, because people move from state to state,
there are affected individuals everywhere. This briefing will explain
how this provision is calculated and what you need to know to be
prepared for your fixed income years. There will be time for questions
and answers and a demonstration in calculating your possible reduction.
103 MEMBERSHIP–POTENTIAL–PRIDE–PURPOSE
PAM POSEY, CEOE
NAEOP VICE PRESIDENT/MEMBERSHIP CHAIRMAN
It’s happening everywhere, with every organization—declining
membership. Attend this briefing to learn how others are recruiting
new members and retaining old members. It takes us all to keep our
current members active and make those new office professionals want
to be a part of this association. This session will give you the
opportunity to explore some innovative ideas and even offer your
own suggestions. You will leave with thoughts of Potential, Pride,
and Purpose to go back to your office and recruit and revitalize
members of NAEOP.
104 ACCOUNTABILITY OF THE FOUNDATION
MARILYN JAMES, CEOE
FOUNDATION SECRETARY
Just what is the NAEOP Foundation? Why do we need it? This briefing
is open for everyone who would like to hear not only the history
of the Foundation from one of NAEOP’s Past Presidents, but
also what function the Foundation serves now, the opportunities
it gives to the membership, and the reason we even need to have
a Foundation. The briefing will end with a question and answer period.
Session II–3:00 -4:30 PM
201 PSP RECERTIFICATION
SIBYL HOOVER, CEOE
NAEOP PSP CHAIRMAN
You have your PSP Certification, maybe you received it a few years
ago or many, many years ago. Whatever the case may be, this session
will assist you in upgrading or recertifying that certification.
The focus of this briefing is on the procedures that need to be
followed, the timelines that have been set, and the documentation
needed to complete this task. Let Sibyl answer your questions, giving
you the information to make this next step in the PSP program stress-free
and easier to accomplish as you strive to reach your Potential with
Pride and Purpose.
202 CHOIR REHEARSAL
PAM POSEY, CEOE
Have you sat in the audience and enjoyed the NAEOP Choir and wished
you could be a part? Here’s your chance! Join Pam Posey and
other singers as they prepare for performances during the conference.
There’s no charge for this session nor will you receive any
credit.
203 THE CHANGING ROLE OF THE EDUCATIONAL OFFICE PROFESSIONAL
CINDY MARX, CEOE
NAEOP 3-M CO-CHAIRMAN
Join Cindy as she takes you through the different stages we all
must go and learn the tips on how to handle those never ending changes.
Educational office professionals often find themselves in situations
that require exceptional poise, diplomacy, and insight. Hence, we
all wear many different hats in any given day. Just when you think
you have it under control, you need to put on a different hat. How
have the 3-Rs changed over the years? What has changed in your office
setting? How has this affected your position? This will be an interactive
session where we will take a look at our changing roles as educational
office professionals. What did it look like when we started down
this career path? What does it looks like now?
204 GREETINGS & SALAD DRESSING!
DEBBIE WADE, CEOE
NAEOP MEMBER
Anyone who has met Debbie knows she has a great outlook on life
and work. You also know that any presentation she makes is informative,
invigorating, and FUN. Attend this briefing to “mix it up”
with a fun approach to work. Learn how to add new “ingredients”
to your work day and guarantee less stress and more "zest"
in your life and in the life of your customers.

304 WHEN THE DREAM BECOMES A REALITY
TAMEKA MONTGOMERY
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
SMALL BUSINESS, DENVER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
We all have dreams of “what if….”, or “if
I tried …” but few of us know where to go from there.
What does it take to start that home business or invest in that
sideline job? Few of us probably dreamed of being an educational
office employee when we grew up, but chose that road out of necessity
and grew to love it. This workshop will give you tips and pointers
on turning that special dream you have into a reality. At this point
you might not want to quit “your day job” or you may
be looking toward retirement, but still keep busy; this time is
for you. Learn those business planning tips that give entrepreneurs
the skills and knowledge needed to turn your dream into a reality.
Just as Louise Henderson Nelson had a dream in 1934 that she cultivated
and watched grow with NAEOP, you can put feet on your ideas and
watch it happen.
Session IV 2:30–4:00 PM
401 PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE
DR. JON HALL
NAEOP PARLIAMENTARIAN
Dr. Hall is a familiar face to NAEOP members; he has been assisting
this association for many years in the proper parliamentary procedures
that should be following in our business meetings. This session
will begin with general remarks about parliamentary procedure and
then open the floor to questions participants might have or problems
they have observed or confronted in their own parliamentary experiences.
Please email Dr. Hall at JHConsulting@cfu.net with your question(s)/situation(s)
by June 1, 2008. This will allow him the time to research the answers,
if needed. This briefing is not just for presidents of associations,
but for all members to enable them to know the proper parliamentary
procedures to follow.
402 AFFILIATE PRESIDENTS/PRESIDENT ELECTS
LINDA SOCKWELL, CEOE, NAEOP PRESIDENT
GLORIA TISDALE, CEOE, IMMEDIATE PAST PRESIDENT
Are you the president, president elect, or the representative of
an affiliate or NAEOP? Or maybe you’re an active member who
wants to one day hold the office of president? If so, this briefing
is one you will want to attend. You will have the opportunity to
learn more about NAEOP and the many benefits it has to offer to
you and your affiliate. You will be given the chance to network
with others and hear how their associations are run. Learn what
made Linda and Gloria want to step out and hold the office of NAEOP
President. Bring your concerns and questions for discussion to assist
us in helping each other.
403 BE ALL YOU CAN BE
RUTH M. PUTNAM, CEOE
GAYLE SCHNORENBERG, CEOE
To each of us a life has been given, and with it an awesome and
priceless responsibility—the freedom to choose how we live
in the world and what we make of ourselves and our lives. When we
live in virtue, we offer a tremendous contribution to the world,
no matter how small we may think our sphere of influence. A single
flame can light the greatest fire.
We will give you a tool that can offer guidance in a relationship
or during challenging times, help clarify your direction or focus
and think about yourself in a different way. This workshop will
allow you to awaken your spirit and explore your potential.
404 CHOIR REHEARSAL
PAM POSEY, CEOE

Tuesday. However, you can still join the choir and be a part of
the beautiful voices who entertain the membership and guests during
the conference. There is no charge for this session nor will you
