United Way Ottawa invites you to the 9th annual
Sharing our Strengths Community Conference
Where: Ashbury College (362 Mariposa Avenue)
When: Tuesday, June 29 7:30 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.
The conference is an excellent and affordable opportunity for community leaders, staff
and volunteers to acquire new skills and knowledge in the areas of strategic leadership,
management, finance, communications and information technology. It also provides an
opportunity to network and share information with others in the non-profit sector.
The overall objective is to provide you with the tools and resources you need to
increase your capacity and potential to become more effective at managing and
delivering programs and services in the community.
The conference includes a Marketplace, speed-networking sessions, a presentation by Jeff Bean, three-time Olympian, a breakfast keynote from Betty Ferreira and 42 workshops on a wide range of topics. Look for workshops such as strategies to help you learn how to integrate skilled immigrants into your workplace, plan successful events on a budget and include key elements in grant proposals to get them noticed.
Workshop presentations are now available.
