On Saturday, May 9, the City of Abbotsford is hosting Involve Abbotsford, a free one-day symposium that will provide training and networking opportunities to help local non-profit sports, arts, and social services organizations build their capacity and skills and network with others in their industry.
Signy Wilson will be providing a keynote address and will be inspiring participants to help create cultures of engagement within organizations. In addition, Involve Abbotsford offers four different informative workshops by industry professionals.
The sessions have been tailored to meet the unique requirements of community organizations and non-profit agencies.
Workshops include: Colette Squires, the power of program evaluation; Alison Martens, efficiency through continuous improvement; Bill Flitton, how to be a council delegate; and special events 101 with Alanna Carmichael, Barb Roberts and Carla Soltis.
These workshops will provide important information for organizations in meeting strategic goals, and provide opportunity for wider engagement.
Participants can choose between workshops during the day, enjoy a light lunch, and will have opportunities post-presentation for more specific advice and information from the presenters.
