INSPIRE Community Engagement Learning Network
Webinar
Virtual 3-4 pm ET
Community & consumer engagement Strengthening ecosystems of care
Join us in building a vibrant community that inspires change!
INSPIRE’s new Community Engagement Learning Network is a unique opportunity for community engagement (CE) professionals and people with lived experience (PWLE) to connect and learn together. Based on feedback from hundreds of people across the country about what they need to advance their work in CE, INSPIRE’s CE Learning Network is a community dedicated to sharing best practices, providing support to one another, and enhancing the field.
Through INSPIRE’s CE Learning Network, participants will have the opportunity to:
- Engage with professionals leading CE and PWLE to share insights and experiences about what it takes to build meaningful partnerships
- Learn from expert presenters on the finer details of launching and operating successful CE initiatives
- Participate in facilitated group discussions that encourage collaboration and innovation
- Build community with other people from around the country doing similar work
Whether you are a seasoned CE expert, just getting started, or wanting to learn more, INSPIRE’s CE Learning Network is the place for you to connect, learn, and thrive in your practice.
