Event: Conversations with Change Practitioners
Topic: Stretch & Fold Date & Time: March 5, 2021; 8am - 9am (Join at 7:45am for informal networking) Facilitators: Lisa Kempton Overview: One of the silver linings of the COVID restrictions has been the improvement and increase in the number of virtual engagement and learning opportunities. In this month’s conversation we would love to hear what type of webinars, workshops, conferences you have attended. What have you learned? What concepts did you find challenging? What was same and different?
Registration: Members should have received an email from ACMP Greater Vancouver with event and registration details.
