• After months of strategic systems thinking with our community, we will be releasing our priority areas for EEANM and the EE community for 2019-2022. This innovative approach for strategic planning will place our community in a strong position for systemic change to weave EE into our education system and we are so excited to share the next steps with you!
• We will do a deep dive into the assets of our community while exploring community mapping and opportunities for systemic change for EE. Discover the value you bring to the community while understanding how the community can better support you.
• While gaining new skills and tools for collaboration, try out some training in transformational leadership. Activities will deepen connections while allowing our EE community to get a flavor of some new training opportunities which will be offered in 2019.

This session will be facilitated by Vicki Pozzebon who brings years of experience designing community convenings for conversations that matter and create lasting impact. Vicki has facilitation training in the Art of Hosting and World Café, and Transformational Leadership methods.
