Graduate Symposium
The 24th Annual EFOP Graduate Symposium will be held May 4-6, 2012. The symposium agenda will be posted to this page sometime in February.
Each Spring, USFA sponsors the EFOP Graduate Symposium. Attendance and participation in the Symposium are limited to graduates of the EFOP. The Symposium:
- Informs participants of outstanding applied research completed by EFOP participants during the previous year. Those recognized present their research and further defend their procedures and findings. Presenters formally receive NFA's Outstanding Applied Research Award.
- Creates a forum for the exchange of cutting-edge trends and information. Recognized presenters from the private sector, education, and Government provide an informational update and reinforce executive skill areas discussed within the EFOP experience. NFA faculty also provides presentations that reinforce and extend the EFOP experience.
- Provides another opportunity to network with EFOP alumni and further extend these relationships. The Symposium is structured to facilitate a period of mental stimulation, yet provide an opportunity to engage in "battery charging."
