Community Engagement Initiative Continues with January 23rd Leadership Institute
The Braddock District Community Engagement Initiative (“CEI”) continues with an all-day “Leadership Institute” scheduled for Saturday, January 23rd at the Woods Community Center in Burke Centre. The “Leadership Institute” is a first-of-its-kind event in Fairfax County. Developed with a team that included myself, county officials, representatives from Volunteer Fairfax and the Braddock District Council, the Institute is targeted for those who are, or wish to be, officers and directors of civic and homeowners’ associations, PTA’s, scout troops, community pools, and community-based volunteer and non-profit organizations.
Current and future community leaders who attend the workshop will learn about techniques for developing and sustaining a vision for their communities and organizations and ways to reach out to diverse membership populations. Breakout sessions will cover the legal and fiscal responsibilities of organizational leaders, techniques for enhancing safety in neighborhoods and ideas for environmental stewardship initiatives. A complete agenda appears below. Spots are still available and we encourage those who aspire to effective community and organizational leadership to sign up today by contacting the office at 703-425-9300
