Building Resilience: Community as a Building Block for Resilience
Event Description

As American communities are confronted by compounded and systematic challenges, we need new models to build resilience for all people. Communities that are connected and empowered are better off today and more able to respond and recover when disaster strikes. Why are communities fundamental to resilience, and how do we find, connect and support our local communities? How does this translate to developing strong teams at work, and how can we leverage organizations and project teams to prepare for a changing world? This 90-minute interactive workshop will provide participants with real-world examples and strategies for understanding and supporting team building and community engagement as a key component of resilience.
