AGENDA

11:00 to 11:30 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

11:30 to 12:30 MOVING FROM TRANSACTIONAL TO RELATIONAL ENGAGEMENT                                                        with Tannis Topolnisky

Engagement is not about checklists and templates! Engagement is about people and as the saying goes, "people want to know that you care before they care what you know". But where does care fit into our organizational culture, processes and decision making? Have we made room for it? How do we make room for it? What could this look like? And what would it take to try? Join Tannis and your engagement practitioners as we discuss the difference between transactional and relational engagement. We'll explore the skills, knowledge and ways of being to achieve a different kind of practice and results.
