Emerging Leader Videos Needed:

Community Action Through My Eyes

As we reflect back on the successes of the past 46 years, we are must look forward and anticipate the challenges we will continue to face.  In preparing for these challenges, we must arm the future leaders with the tools and resources necessary for success.

In an effort to build our community of future leaders, the Community Action Partnership is hosting an Emerging Leaders track at its Annual Convention in Boston.  This track will focus on the tools and resources each emerging leader needs to successfully carry of the legacy and work of Community Action.

As part of this Emerging Leaders track, the Partnership will be assembling a video that highlights depicting Community Action Through My Eyes.  Videos received from agencies throughout the country will be combined into a product that will be showcased at the 2010 Annual Community Action Partnership Convention being held in Boston August 31 – September 3.

We are asking for your help!

Please forward this to the emerging leaders in your agency and ask them to participate in this highly visible project!
