And how do you best ensure that your collective efforts have the greatest chance of taking hold in a community, flourishing and actually building the conditions that make communities work? The five stages of community life help explain why some communities move faster and others slower when it comes to change. 1D CREATING EFFECTIVE MARKETING PLANS AND MEASURING YOUR MARKETING SUCCESS Deanna Willsey, United Way Suncoast More Details to Follow
- 4. THURSDAY, JUNE 25 12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. Lunch and Keynote Sponsored by KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Rich Harwood, Founder of The Harwood Institute Led, in part, by the example set by his parents – who built the community’s first halfway house to support those with mental illness following deinstitutionalization, re-energized the NAACP, spoke out for the voiceless on urban renewal, and founded their local synagogue – Rich grew up in a family that believed everyone in the community should be seen and heard and treated with compassion. As a sick child, he spent much of his childhood confined to hospital beds, while doctors hovered over him speaking to each other about him, but never to him, and there he learned first-hand the pain and loneliness of being neither seen,norheard. His parents’ example, along with those of mentors, coaches, and teachers who reached out to him, and his deep faith, all left a lasting impression on Rich, who vowed to dedicate his life to working so that all people are seen heard and that, together, we can take our best shot at creating a better society and making hope real for all people. Reclaiming Main Street:How Individuals and Organizations Can Authentically Do Good People are frustrated with politics and public life. Nothing is being done about the problems that affect everyday people. We’re going to change that. Together with you, Rich Harwood wants to move our communities and country forward. The Reclaiming Main Street Campaign is an invitation for people and organizations to join us to become a catalyst for change. - See more at: http://mainstreet.theharwoodinstitute. org/#sthash.m0jseHTZ.dpuf 1:45 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. GOTTA HAVE HEART Choose one: 2A INCREASING REVENUE THROUGH COLLECTIVE IMPACT WORK Courtenay Garcia, United Way of the Big Bend Explore how to engage your partners in your Collective Impact work and watch as this relationship grows campaign dollars.
