Strengthening Community Economies: POLICY & ADVOCACY

You are here

CCEDNet is excited to offer this learning series to increase capacity among our members for policy and advocacy work. The 2021-22 offerings are based on CCEDNet's policy priorities, as well as members' responses to a survey conducted in the Fall of 2020.

  • Webinars are structured around presentations, followed by Q & A and some time for informal networking.
  • Campfire chats provide opportunities for members to learn from one another’s experience in an informal peer-to-peer learning environment.

Note: This series is designed to strengthen the work of CCEDNet members!
