Join us for the sixth and final session in our multi-part Community and Stakeholder Engagement Learning Collaborative series, created and facilitated by Coby C. Williams of New Reach Community Consulting.
This series will be a deep dive into community engagement in a world with increasing responsibilities and workloads, changing neighborhoods, COVID-19, and on-demand streaming services. We can no longer hold an in-person meeting and expect the right people to show up. We need a different approach to community engagement.
These sessions will be interactive, with tons of time built in for Q&A, thinking exercises, group discussion, and practical examples. Come prepared to participate!
In addition, this learning collaborative will offer opportunities for extended learning outside of the workshops. Following each session, Mitzi Moody of Creative Thought Consulting Group will provide on-demand access to additional resources and space to hear about and reflect on strategies that are helpful in community engagement. Be sure to check it out!
