Grassroots environmental organizations thrive when they center people at the heart of their work. This webinar introduces Engagement Organizing (EO), a strategy for building relationships, deepening community leadership, and creating lasting impact.
Join William van Geest (Ecology Ottawa) and Montana Burgess (Mountaintop Strategies) as they share their first-hand experiences implementing EO in environmental organizations. They’ll discuss what works, what doesn’t, and provide practical tips for leaders looking to begin the transition toward people-powered organizations.
What you’ll take away:
Understanding the principles of engagement organizing
How to start implementing EO practices in your organization
Policies, procedures, and structures that support volunteer and community leadership
This session is ideal for environmental non-profit leaders, program staff, and anyone interested in building authentic, community-centred engagement.
Strong governance is the foundation of a healthy nonprofit. But true governance goes beyond bylaws and board structures—it’s about being intentional in how decisions are made and who is included in the process.
In this interactive webinar, governance expert Jane Garthson will guide participants to think critically about governance as a living, community-centred practice. Rather than focusing solely on establishing structures, this session will emphasize the importance of deciding how your organization will govern and who should be part of those conversations.
