Are You Coming Back?

Thank you for all that you do to contribute to our learning community and for the work you are doing to improve your own community. We know that the work of communities collaborating can be tireless. That's why we think that the face-to-face connections we make at the Communities Collaborating Institute are vital to refresh, inform and transform your own community work.

Last year, ten alumni joined us at the second annual Institute, and we were thrilled to connect with five more at the inaugural Collaborative Leadership Retreat this month. You are all champions of this work, and we hope that you will continue to contribute to our learning community - online, in person at the 2008 Institute, or by nominating others to join - in the spirit that we are all learners and teachers.

The alumni experience has become a vital part to the success of the Institute. Your presence added value for new participants but, what's more., alumni who attend receive exclusive benefits, including a special rate and face to face time with each keynote speaker to ask the questions that matter most to you.
