Public and alumni invited to attend presentation on organizational change
The eleventh Leadership Northern Colorado (LNC) class will soon complete their pandemic expanded program and LNC alumni and the public are invited to celebrate the class accomplishments and to learn more about leadership at a breakfast event featuring Josh Packard, executive director of Springtide Research Institute and former sociology professor at the University of Northern Colorado. A talented speaker and writer, Packard will share insight on organizational change and strategy.
Packard has spent twenty years studying institutional participation in the United States with a focus on work and voluntary associations. He’s a social scientist who is committed to making sure that research can actually be useful to people in the real world. As one of his clients recently said, “You’re a researcher, but you speak human!” Dr. Packard has been an invited speaker for numerous events and organizations to share his unique, counterintuitive insights that will change the way you think about a world you already know.
The event will be from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. on November 16 at Windsong Event Center, 2901 Saddler Blvd, outside of Fort Collins. Sponsored by Canvas Credit Union, the event provides a great way for Alumni and the community to reconnect to the program. Registration is $10 and available HERE. Registration includes breakfast and the keynote presentation by Packard.
Leadership Northern Colorado, a joint initiative of the Fort Collins, Greeley and Loveland chambers of commerce, the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado and the Weld Foundation, is designed to build human capacity and to identify, define and address the issues facing the Northern Colorado region.
The Leadership Northern Colorado program will end November 16 with a final class session and graduation by the 33 participants. The class had an extended experience due to pandemic and ran from January, 2020 through November, 2021.
