RLNC 2008 – “Reaching Across the Community”
Saturday, May 17, 2008 – 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM at the Little Lake Grange
$15 Donation includes lunch
The third annual Regional Localization Networking Conference (RLNC) will be a little different than the last two. In the past we reserved the Brooktrails Lodge for two nights and two days and invited localizers from all over the
Western United States
. At that time there were no other centers of localization in the
Western United States
. Now there are localization groups all over. This year the invitation is going out to
Mendocino
County
,
Lake
County
, Southern Humboldt County, and anyone else particularly interested in what we are doing around here as far as localization is concerned. We will have a one day event to make it convenient for our neighbors to car-pool here without the need for a sleep-over. We will only charge $15 to make it affordable for everyone who wants to attend.
The theme this year, “Reaching Across the Community” is about talking to those parts of the community that we may not be reaching. We have invited a panel of community leaders from a broad spectrum of our community to share their thoughts on 1) how their organization enhances Community Self Reliance; 2) how they mend fences and relationships within their organization, and 3) how do they want outsiders to their organization to seek to influence them. This will be followed by lunch and break out discussions to follow-up the morning panel. We will have a presentation by the Willits Women’s Council titled “What’s That You Said?” – Communication Styles.
The panel members that have graciously agreed to help us are:
Sheriff Tom Allman
Maricela Nieto of Nuestra Alianza de Willits
Lynn Kennelly of the Willits Chamber of Commerce
Mayor
Holly Madrigal
of the City of
Willits
Ron Orenstein – Rotarian and former City Council Member
Trina Fitzgeral
Tribal Administrator of
Sherwood
Valley
Rancheria
Margie Handley of the Howard Foundation
Rev.
Steve Thrift
of the
Agape
Church
As in years past, this RLNC is sponsored by WELL and the City of
Willits
.
