This two-day training is focused on strategic program management and capacity development topics. The curriculum will include elements of CLINIC's highly praised Immigration Program Management Training but extend beyond it for more advanced learning opportunities. The training will draw from these advanced areas:

· Case management policies, procedures and forms. Participants will be asked to bring their case management forms to the training for a thorough review of forms in use and assess them against best practices.

· Program management challenges and ethical dilemmas with proposed solutions. Participants will learn from actual and hypothetical cases and share their own experiences.

· Measuring program outcomes for fundraising and marketing effectiveness. Participants will learn a logic model and apply it to designing a project and spotlighting outcomes which are attractive to many funders.

· Group application workshop models with consideration of current uses in addition to prospective use for a legalization program. Each participant will practice the workshop model and create a workshop plan for her or his program.

· Comprehensive immigration reform planning for implementation. Participants will consider community-wide and program preparedness steps necessary regardless of when legislation passes or how legalization, in particular, will be legislated and regulated.

· Open forum for participants to raise issues, ask questions and share good practices that are replicable.

The training is highly interactive. Participants will leave with useful and customized tools to help them create or improve immigration legal services.
