Keynote Speaker, Mike Green, of the Asset-Based Community Development Institute and the Denver Foundation, brings a fresh perspective to the work with vulnerable populations. In Mike's view, human services clients are community assets to be leveraged for the good of all; not broken people whose deficits need to be 'fixed'. He presents a positive, heartening view of human service work that can make areal difference in the lives of workers and clients alike.
You will:
- Learn new and useful resources to share with co-workers and other participants.
- Meet others who can help you be most the 'most effective you'.
- Leave renewed in our shared networks' 'power of together'.
- Discuss ways in which non-profits can speak up about the issues confronting them.
- Gain more self-advocacy tools. Identify key strategies to engage elected officials and other decision-makers with your issue.
