Community Resiliency Professional Development Opportunities During the January 2022 Impact Collaborative Summit

Community Resiliency Professional Development Opportunities for Members

The January 2022 Summit will focus on Community Resilience. Teams from Extension Foundation member institutions and special guests will:

1. Learn the value of integrating community resilience into planning for collective action.
2. Examine existing power structures, formal and informal social infrastructures through an equity lens.
3. Increase their ability to position Cooperative Extension as an organization that can inform and facilitate the development of community-level policy systems and environmental change resulting in expanded community capacity and greater resilience.
   
   

While the whole Summit is for teams to participate, anyone from member institutions is invited to attend the keynote sessions and a special session focused specifically on the Community Capitals Framework to build capacity in integrating community resiliency best practices throughout their work with community members.
