Why Community Engagement Matters (Now More Than Ever)

Residence Inn by Marriott, Harlingen 109 Bass Pro Drive, Harlingen, TX, United States

Please join us as we welcome, Paul Schmitz, CEO of Leading Inside Out and a Senior Advisor at The Collective Impact Forum, for an interactive workshop on why community engagement matters and discussing the six key factors that are essential for building community support. Drawing from his 2016 Stanford Social Innovation Review article, "Community Engagement Matters (Now More Than Ever)", Paul will share tools and lead participants through a series of conversations to help you consider your purpose, definitions and approaches to engagement in order to better work with communities, not for communities.
