2020 SKILLS SYMPOSIUM: Meaningful Tools, Powerful Outcomes

Ask yourself these three questions:

• Are you running out of constructive ways to bring people together in conversation?
• Are you hearing from the same people over and over again and consistently struggling to hear from diverse voices?
• Do you value strong relationships and building community participation capacity?

Join us for an interactive session, where you can fill your toolbox with some new, innovative and effective public engagement techniques that will help you host better, powerful conversations, achieve objectives and create momentum positive change.
