I am planning to attend the Nonprofit Leadership Collaborative’s 2008 Forum being sponsored by United way, “community leadership – a new conversation” featuring Peter Block on May 6, 2008, from 8:30 to noon. The cost is only 25 dollars and its for Houstonians interested in making our community more engaged. You can register at www.unitedwayhouston.org – Check out the description from United way:
Much has been written about the loss of social capital: We no longer know our neighbors; we text message rather than talk; we connect via My Space rather than face-to-face. Our ability to relate seems to be disintegrating before our very eyes. Is it too late to restore those connections that are essential to strong communities?Noted author and consultant Peter Block will challenge Houston to recreate the conditions required for community engagement. Learn what you can do as a community leader to build an alternative future built on inclusiveness and hospitality; and to initiate conversations that alter the way we bring people together.
Change is possible. I
