Alberta Water Learning Network
Session Two: October 2009
From October 1-2, 2009, the Sustainability Network organized the second gathering of the Alberta Water Learning Network. Current and emerging NGO water leaders were convened to focus on exploring challenges regarding communications.
Leading an NGO is a demanding role in which committed individuals face tremendous pressure to effectively respond to complex environmental and organizational issues. A crucial factor for the success of any organization is communications – whether it is communicating with your board, or with external stakeholders, or with the media.
The goal of the Alberta Water Learning Network is to provide a space in which senior or aspiring ENGO leaders can explore these critical issues and generate ideas and approaches on how to respond. The program will draw heavily on the experience and knowledge of the participants as well as provide various thinking tools, to develop a collective understanding about the complex issue of communications.
