Webinar December 8: Cultivating Leadership at all Levels
Join the Pennsylvania Organization for Watersheds and Rivers (POWR) and your watershed organization peers for a live webinar on Wednesday, December 8 at 6 PM to learn about and discuss a number of strategies to build leaders at every level of your organization, from the once-in-a-while volunteer to your board chair and committees.
Hanna Mico, Community Organization Associate at River Network will also introduce attendees to a wonderful new (and totally easy to use) online tool to connect with a national community of watershed organization leaders. Whether you are looking for new program ideas, stumped by a governance challenge, or trying to understand new federal water policies, you can easily engage with someone who can help.
Join us and learn more. This event is free but registration is required to obtain the Zoom link to join.
