Conf+2+High+Stakes+Engagement

Internal champions often are key players in ensuring organizational support for engagement or consultation projects.
 * Cultivating Engagement Champions and Community Capacity Building**

External champions are important too, in that they can have an equally or even more powerful effect on the success—or failure—of engagement efforts.

Working with both internal and external champions also may require building the capacity of people to participate.

This one-day conference focuses on Internal and External Champions.

Key questions we'll focus on include:
 * How do you/your team facilitate internal support for engagement? What do you do that supports the culture and practice of participation? How are leaders and employees involved in cultivating Internal Champions?
 * How do you/your team facilitate external support for engagement culture at the community level?
 * What tools, techniques and approaches have you used to effectively build the capacity of people to participate, both internally and externally?
 * What 'lessons learned' can you share about what's worked -- and what hasn't?
