Safal Approach

The two primary TA efforts for which Safal is engaged are the Annual Directors Meeting (ADM) and the Mentoring Initiative. For the ADM, Safal designed, organized, and printed the meeting materials (signs, folders, agendas, and evaluation forms), arranged travel and lodging for speakers and student presenters, and conducted an analysis of  participants’  feedback on the ADM. For the Mentoring Initiative, Safal recruited and vetted subject matter experts to respond to questions and the need for mentoring. Safal facilitates meetings, organizes travel and lodging for mentors and subject matter experts, and collects data, creates reports, and monitors all Mentoring Initiative activities.
