Participants will be led through a step-by-step process, enabling them to see how best to encourage productive brainstorming that results in tangible outcomes. All attendees engage with structures and techniques designed to facilitate inclusive conversations and to build community in efficient ways. Individuals come together around their specific interests, passions, and their organizations’ missions to collaboratively imagine programs, initiatives, and other partnership opportunities that speak to their organizational and communal goals.
Key takeaways:
- new initiatives, programs, and/or events that speak to your own personal skills aligned with the passions of others in the local and national communities
- envisioning collaboration as an opportunity to look for points of intersection, even among seemingly disconnected elements
- tools for empathetic listening and productive conversation
- techniques for facilitating productive planning sessions for boards and staff members
Tickets are pay-what-you-can, valued at $12/person.

Lee and Toni were lifelong entrepreneurs with a passion for innovation and for supporting talent. They believed that only with big risk comes big reward.
