Weekend in Boca Civil Society Leadership Symposium
“Committed to Our Communities – Effective Strategies for Today, Tomorrow and Beyond”
December 6-8, 2009
Boca Raton Resort
Boca Raton, Florida
Despite tough times and daunting challenges, our communities are surviving; some are even thriving. The ones that do best have been successful in building collaborations and harnessing the energy and resources of their residents, non-profit organizations, governments and the private sector.
During Weekend in Boca III – the annual Civil Society Leadership Symposium presented by the Office Depot Foundation in collaboration with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Business Civic Leadership Center – we will examine what’s working in communities and look for opportunities to apply best practices on a local, regional and national scale. Beginning with South Florida as an economic, social and environmental case study, our speakers and panelists will engage participants in stimulating conversations about the roles that all of us and our organizations can play in meeting current challenges and building sustainability for the future.
Weekend in Boca III will include a special focus on disaster contingency and business continuity planning for non-profit organizations. The event will conclude with the Office Depot Foundation’s annual Tropical Holiday Celebration, which symposium participants can attend at a discounted rate.
