We warmly welcome our hosts for Creating Impact through Engagement:
Tuesday Ryan-Hart is a host/facilitator who left traditional service provision and academics to become a new kind of community change maker. She partners with community builders around the world in transformational work, helping individuals, community non-profits, governmental agencies and organizations of all sizes to thrive through change in a way that generates growth and success. With a passion for social justice and expertise in anti-violence work and gender and race equity, Tuesday excels at working with groups to enhance awareness and understanding, build alliances, and take positive action together.
Tim Merry of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia is a Change Leader who works locally and internationally to support change in communities, organizations and society. Participatory engagement, stategic clarity and collaborative action are at the core of his practice. His work is in direct response to the reality of the world we live in. "I design, deliver and train processes that are tailor made to meet the needs of all the people involved. The complexity of the challenges we face, the speed of change and the uncertainty of our times demand we see a bigger picture that non of could see alone. We must work together to intelligently plan and effectively execute actions that have far reaching impact."
We hope you will join us for a provocative and stimulating two days as we sharpen our skills and deepen our understanding of effective practices of engagment.
