| BUILDING EFFECTIVE COALITIONS TO ADDRESS PUBLIC ISSUES A Professional Development Workshop
Facilitators: * Robert Wilson, K-State Research & Extension * Linda Teener, UFM Community Learning Center * Starla Bocanegra, Northeast Kansas Regional Prevention Center |
Community Leadership is different from Corporate Leadership. Public problems are interconnected; cross organizational and jurisdictional boundaries; and are often complex. No single agency, organization, jurisdiction, or community has enough authority, influence, or resources to dictate visionary solutions. Collaborative community Leadership demands different roles, tasks, and skills then those required in the corporate world. This innovative workshop will address the unique challenges facing public leaders in establishing effective coalitions.
* Explore 10 key questions to define roles and aid coalition development. * Discover how to frame issues for long term outcomes. * Learn about tools to better engage stakeholders in addressing public issues.
|
Registration Information: * Pre-registration is required. * The registration fee is $22 and includes lunch & workshop materials. * To register online, go to www.tryufm.org or contact UFM at 785-539-8763. * Request course # 06CFC42. * Register early! Seating is limited to 40 participants.
