| Region One Young Professionals Community of Practice- First Meeting! Time & Date: Thursday, September 25th, 3pm-4pm Target Audience: CAA Staff aged 18-35 Facilitators: Isabella Dickens-Bowman, MASSCAP & Tanaysia Jefferson, CAFCA CoP Description/Goals: We are excited to announce the first meeting of the Region One Young Professionals Community of Practice! We aim for this group to be an ongoing space for professional development, information & resource sharing sharing, peer coaching, and community for Community Action young professionals around New England. This will be a place to share successes, ask for advice & feedback, provide and receive training, and to brainstorm together what the future of Community Action can be. This will be an opportunity to network and build community & collaboration around the region for the next generation of Community Action leaders. This first meeting will be an opportunity to lay the groundwork and map out the direction and schedule of this CoP and we will work together to determine the topics, needs, and interests of the group going forward. All are welcome to join the Young Professionals CoP, though we especially encourage participation from those ages 18–35, as our intention is for the discussions and activities to be by and for young professionals. For any questions or to join the email list, please contact Isabella at isabelladbowman@masscap.org |
