Community Sustainability Conference
Space if filling up fast for this great opportunity to meet some of your peers and hear about their success in engaging citizens.
The Federation of Calgary Communities, along with our partners City of Calgary, Community and Neighbourhoods Services and Volunteer Calgary, would formally like to invite you to the community sustainability conference November 7 and 8th. The focus is on community engagement and will highlight a number of community success stories. The Honourable Lindsay Blackett will open Friday night and Alderman Pincott will open Saturday, November 8th with a presentation on "Painting Pavement". Friday night's keynote speaker is Merrill Cooper, principal with Guyn Cooper Research Associates Ltd. who has done a great deal of research and consulting with organizations like the Calgary Homeless Foundation and United Way. She will lead us through a presentation on community trends affecting Calgarians and how to use community development approaches to tackle things
- it promises will be very informative and thought provoking.
Saturday's workshops include Volunteer Management: moving residents from interest to volunteering, Mission based Governance and "Pop goes your event" engaging citizens through effective events. In addition, we will have a panel of community leaders over the lunch to share their successes.
We do hope that you will able to make it. You can register at http://www.calgarycommunities.com/events.php
