Grassroots and Groundwork

Community-Builder Institute

Bonus Opportunity!
On Friday afternoon, May 14, we are offering a special Community-Builder Institute. Past conferees have raved about this optional program of in-depth, practical workshops. This year’s focus is on high-impact communications. You can choose to attend one of two workshops.

There is a $50 fee for this program, which includes lunch. These workshops have quickly filled to capacity at past conferences. Preregistration is required – make sure to select this option when you fill out your Grassroots & Groundwork conference registration.
