Brought to you by the NeighborWorks Training Institute in New Orleans When: Wednesday, December 13 at the New Orleans Marriott
What the Gulf Region has faced under the magnifying glass of Katrina holds lessons for us all — including those of us who never had to face a natural disaster, but who have had or might have to face other difficult community transitions. These valuable lessons equip us to create positive change by giving all citizens a voice in the rebuilding process.
This one-day session promises:
A. compelling stories of major obstacles as well as affirmative human action within the community to overcome obstacles
B. thought-provoking, respected speakers and expert panelists
C. participatory workshops in a variety of topics focused on proactively rebuilding communities that have undergone major change of any kind
D. significant time to share best practices with peers in community development from across the country and the Gulf Region, giving you strategies you can take back to your community
Along with the symposium, the NeighborWorks Training Institute offers an week-long learning experience with training courses and an opportunity to join in the New Orleans rebuilding process directly with hands-on volunteer activity.
Symposium fee: $145 (includes all materials, plenaries, workshops, light continental breakfast, luncheon with featured guest speaker, and NeighborWorks Training Institute networking reception that evening). Registration fee not included. Deadline to register: Nov. 20
