Goals and Plan
As a member of the IAB for TGfU representing United States, I plan to attend as many conferences and workshops related to TGfU as possible and make an appearance at those events. Since I am starting a new position and new to the area of PE, Health, as well as Adapted PE, I will be focusing on learning and networking at first. Then, we are gradually presenting/introducing new ideas with TGfU to the wide population and developing a core group of people who are interested in the TGfU work within the U.S.
Goal stage 1 – Networking and Reporting to the TGfU community (i.e., “What’s Happening in”) Goal stage 2 – Developing a core group of people who are interested in the TGfU work within the U.S. and creating an action plan for TGfU promotion Goal stage 3 – Introducing and reaching out to the new population about TGfU and our work |
