Resourceful Communities partners from across North Carolina gathered at the twelfth annual Grassroots Convening in September 2008 to re-connect, learn and engage.
This year’s convening focused on sustainability, providing our partners with opportunities to learn about keeping their organizations strong now and in the future. More than 90 community leaders attended and participated in skills-building sessions around leadership transition, youth engagement and board development. Participants also explored time, treasure and talent in our communities – how giving circles support local efforts.
At the gathering attendees share experiences and lessons learned with peers they often don’t see because of proximity. As one participant said, “The gathering always reminds me that I’m not alone. It’s all about the connections!”
EnjoyingPartners joined in stories and song with Miss Connie B and enjoyed delicious meals featuring locally grown NC produce.
Working for more than 15 years in distressed communities throughout North Carolina, Resourceful Communities follows the lead and wisdom of local leaders. Learn more about our partners.
