Tri-State CAMP Conference:
VOCE (Veterans of the Camping Experience) Program
VOCE stands for Veterans of the Camp Experience and serves those camp professionals who have been in management roles at camp for at least five consecutive years with ultimate operational authority. We invite anyone who fits this criterion to join us for two special Tri-State CAMP Conference sessions designed by and for the VOCE community.
At the conference, they will sit down together once each day—for interactive discussions about camp and their roles.

Leading Across Generations: Everyday Actions to Empower Your Team
Speaker: Chelsea Williams, Reimagine Talent Co.
Did you know today's workplace may consist of up to five unique generations?
These generations often hold varying views on values, work, and success as shaped by formative experiences. A major pitfall in developing strong multi-generational teams are the common assumptions and generalizations made about each generation.
This session will provide best practices for empowering multi-generational teams to meet the demands of the 21st century workforce, workplace, and marketplace. Participants will leave with an understanding of how to be a more inclusive leader of multi-generational teams.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12
Time:12:30 PM–1:45 PM (lunch included)
Location: Rooms 411/ 412
Legal Aspects of Camp Succession Planning: Protecting Your Legacy Through Transition
Speaker: Alison Besunder
Join us for an essential legal presentation designed for camp owners and directors from both for-profit and non-profit organizations. This session led by an attorney advising organizations through transitions will provide critical guidance on navigating the legal complexities of leadership succession to ensure the continued success of both non-profit and for-profit camps. Whether you're planning for retirement, considering new leadership models, or simply being proactive about your camp's future, this session will equip you with some legal considerations for ensuring your camp continues its mission while minimizing legal risks through any transition.
