About this event

Continental Breakfast & Networking at 7:30
Presentation at 8:00

Oregon is changing! Are you? Is your organization? What works in building diverse customers/clients, donors, board and/or volunteers? What is effective in creating and maintaining culturally competent, flexible and responsive outreach and service delivery systems?

Community engagement is a key strategy for success in both the business and nonprofit sectors. In this session of the Mid Valley Nonprofit Network, we’ll explore how your organization can increase its visibility, and support, through cross cultural community engagement.
Join senior consultant Cliff Jones for a lively discussion on successes and failures with various approaches to community engagement. Learn how to connect people to the work of your organization, raise awareness of your mission, and inspire and mobilize support. Come prepared with your questions, and leave inspired to strengthen your community engagement practices. Learn:

  • How to build strong, productive community partnerships
  • Approaches to and strategies for effective engagement across cultures
  • How to be a great partner for cross cultural community engagement efforts
