The United Community Co-op’s biennial signature event, Leading Change, is coming up soon!
Leading Change has always been geared towards supporting leadership and growth of the non-profit sector. In previous years we have used Leading Change to generate and facilitate dialogue around innovative practices for the sector. This year, we’ve decided to take dialogue and turn it into experiential learning and outcome-driven change. Everyone – from the frontline to the executive team – has this opportunity to be a leader and create real innovative action.
Over the course of two days, the Co-op and mentors and coaches from the community will guide you through an accelerated process of dreaming up a lofty goal and then scaling down to a bite-sized, achievable project, driven by you and supported by your peers. Leading Change 2011 is an ideas laboratory of sorts – a safe and controlled environment in which to experiment with that idea you’ve always wanted to turn into a real project.
At the end of two days, your proposals will be put into a silent auction for community members, mentors, coaches, and your peers to bid on with in-kind support and constructive feedback. You’ll be able to see immediate results of your proposal writing as it’s happening!
Registration is open now: for more details and to register, visit our event website at Leading Change. We hope to see you there on June 6 and 7 at Creekside Community Recreation Centre in Vancouver, BC.
