“Community: Mine. Yours. Ours.”– From Presence to Citizenship’s Fourth Annual Learning Exchange.

From Presence to Citizenship - advancing the developmental services transformation through knowledge sharing across the sector.

Building inclusive communities for people requires real effort and “presence.” From Presence to Citizenship is a conference that unites people involved in the developmental services sector to share thought leadership, best practices and success stories. Over the past four years, approximately 300 executive directors, managers and leaders with an interest using community as a first resort for services and supports attend the annual learning exchange.

This annual event features nationally and internationally recognized speakers, thought-provoking breakout sessions and interactive panel discussions that feature champions of transformation. This year’s fourth annual From Presence to Citizenship conference Community: Mine – Yours - Ours will carry on from last year’s theme of “people driving change” as we shift to focusing on the importance of community; building healthy communities and creating community connections and partnerships. Participants will explore ways to support a welcoming and inclusive society, learn how to bring powerful conversations into your community and shift your agency’s thinking about the nature of engagement.

Opening Keynote Speaker: Cormac Russell
