LINGOs is all about community and collaboration to ensure that individuals and organizations within the development, humanitarian and sustainability sectors have the right learning in the right place at the right time. We’re actively engaging our community in a series of formal and informal listening events, and as you can see on a recent post on the LINGOs Blog, members have requested more frequent opportunities for smaller groups to have more focused dialogue and more opportunities to build local relationships. Our members in cities with a core group of members have found the local community building to be a great resource in accelerating innovation and community building to provide learning and development opportunities for their staff and stakeholders.
The purpose of the meeting is to strengthen the Boston area international development/ humanitarian relief focused learning and development community and to connect LINGOs member and potential member colleagues working on internal organizational learning and development and programmatic capacity building.
Provisional Agenda
3:00 – 3:15 Introductions
3:15 – 4:00 Sharing of learning strategies and challenges and how the LINGOs community can help
4:00 – 4:45 Group Exerciese: What can we do together to meet those priorities, Marian Abernathy, LINGOs
4:45 – 5:00 Wrap
