Our 3-day agenda is broken up into two parts - Day 1 (May 5) and Days 2 & 3 (May 12/19)
Day 1 is focused on a large group, plenary experience. This will be broken up into several key activities
1. Welcome
We'll welcome you to the Community Change Institute and set the stage for all of the learning and sharing to come.
2. Panel | Transforming Leadership in an Age of Disruption
Leadership is dynamic. Changemakers must learn to respond and adapt quickly to the pressures facing their organizations and communities. As we move into a post-pandemic world, how can leaders effectively re-engage stakeholders and team members? How do leaders respond to the social and racial inequities revealed through the last two years? Learn from a panel of changemakers who will share their journey and their plans to disrupt systems to drive impactful change.
Hosted by Danya Pastuszek, Co-CEO, Vibrant Communities, Tamarack Institute
Featuring:
Victor Beausoleil, Executive Director, SETSI
Ana Gonzalez Guerrero, Co-Founder, Youth Climate Lab

3. Panel | The Five Interconnected Practices
As communities drive towards improving population level outcomes, we at the Tamarack Institute have learned that changemakers need to build their skills in five interconnected practice areas in order to make significant impact. Learn from a panel of our consulting directors and other thought leaders on the state of each of the five practice areas, what the future holds, and how each can impact the work you do in your community.
4. Tool Share
Learners have the chance to sign up to explore a set of 3 practical tools designed to build your capacity as a changemaker. Not only will you learn how to apply these 3 tools, but you'll also have access to our entire Community Change Institute tool library. We want to give you all of the tools and resources you need to make a real impact in your community.
Want to share your expertise? We welcome you to apply to share your own tool as part of this session. Successful applicants will receive a free registration to the event.
5. Open Session | Discussion with Consulting Directors
We're opening up an optional time slot for learners who wish to engage with our thought leaders and consulting directors. Join a zoom room and engage with questions on one of the interconnected practice areas. We value your thoughts and ideas!
Days 2 and are focused on in-depth workshops focused on one of the interconnected practice areas. Learners will sign up for a total of two (2) workshops, and take one each on days 2 and 3. We encourage you to select different workshop for each day, as the content will be repeated in order to give learners the chance to engage with the learning they feel is most valuable to their work and community.
Workshop descriptions will be available closer to the event.

Each workshop will also include a follow-up group coaching session, providing you with the opportunity to revisit your action plan, ask questions about what you've learned, and bring forward personalized questions to our expert team.
