SUMMARY:Building Bridges for Community Impact - Beckley
DESCRIPTION:If you joined us at one of the regional meetings last spring or have been involved in any of the “What’s next for WV” conversations\, you know about the many issues facing our communities and the nonprofit sector here in West Virginia. In order to achieve our goals for successful community collaboration\, we must work together and build bridges for collective impact. Organizations that are part of a collective network can leverage resources and knowledge to build bridges more effectively than those that “go it alone.” The collective network expands opportunities for learning and problem solving\, accelerates innovative approaches\, and creates a web of resources that yield more sustainable and effective solutions to community problems. \n—————————————————- \nThe Building Bridges for Community Impact regional workshop will engage participants in interactive learning experiences to increase understanding\, capacity and action around regional collaboration. Participants will better understand the importance of collaboration in general and specifically leveraging new partnerships to reach common desired outcomes and gain support from funders. The session will address the following: \n\nNuts and bolts of collaboration\nImportance of working together\nThe “collective impact” approach\nPrioritizing regional strategies\nVisioning for future impact\nEngaging in collaborative team work throughout the region\n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND: Staff and volunteers of nonprofit organizations interested or involved in community change. \nFACILITATOR: \nBruce E. Decker\, founder and owner of Collective Impact\, LLC\, is a skilled strategic planner\, trainer\, community coach\, technical assistant\, leader and facilitator. For nearly 20 years\, he has provided capacity building consulting services for a broad range of clients at the local\, regional\, and state level. Bruce has demonstrated expertise in organizational and community capacity building\, system analysis and improvement\, service coordination and integration\, and cross-system networking and collaboration. Bruce is proficient at building relationships among diverse groups of people with the natural ability to inspire confidence\, trust\, and mutual respect.  He was a founding board member of the West Virginia Community Development Hub\, a nonprofit organization focused on supporting communities in their development and revitalization efforts.  Bruce is currently Board chair with Create Huntington\, a grassroots organization that empowers residents to make positive change in their community. He participated with the City of Huntington\, West Virginia in the Community Progress Leadership Institute (CPLI) at Harvard University.  Bruce received his Master of Arts in Communication Studies with an emphasis in Organizational and Intercultural Communication and Leadership Studies from Marshall University. He received his Bachelor of Arts in Education from Marshall as well with a dual concentration in Marketing Education and Social Studies\, a specialized certification in Diversified Cooperative Training with a focus on Entrepreneurship. \nPRESENTER: \nJake Lynch is the Director of Network Communications at the West Virginia Community Development Hub. Jake Lynch joined the Hub in 2015 following a 15-year career in community journalism and nonprofit communications.  West Virginia’s trail and recreation community may know Jake from his previous role with Rails-to-Trails Conservancy\, where from 2010 until 2014 he led the national trail development organization’s media and marketing efforts.  Telling the stories of America’s trail communities was a natural progression from his work as a journalist and newspaper editor here in the United States and in his native Australia.  At The Hub\, Jake’s experience in tapping into what interests and motivates community members and leaders is being put to good use in our efforts to generate a broad and powerful narrative about the terrific community development work being done in West Virginia.  Jake’s focus is very much on boosting the communications capacity of the wide network of Hub partners across the state and creating new and innovative ways to help the community development sector use communications to expand their impact. \nContinuing Education Credits: \nWVU School of Social Work Continuing Education Certificate in Nonprofit Management – 1.25 hour Service Provision – Core Area – Program/Organizational Design & Evaluation\, 1.25 hours Electives/Special Topics\, 2.5 hours Service Provision – Core Area – Program/Organizational Design & Evaluation or  Core Area Service Provision – Rural Community Service \nSPONSORS:\n \n\n\n\n\n
