Obama to Speak at ICAN Leadership Training Conference

From my inbox.

ICAN will hold its annual Leadership Training Conference on Saturday, April 21 – from 12:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. – at the Foxboro Conference Center in Johnston (6163 86th Street -- map available online at www.iowacan.org).

This is your opportunity to network with other Iowa progressives and learn more about ways to improve our communities, state and nation. Our keynote speaker this year is Senator Barack Obama, U.S. Senator and best-selling author of The Audacity of Hope.

In addition, we will offer a workshop on using “Our Common Values” to build progressive power and unite our voices around a shared progressive voice. The Our Common Values training session will provide an interactive small-group experience that will stretch your ways of thinking and doing – and have practical application in our shared work. These small group sessions will be fun and high-energy as well as thought provoking.

Due to limited seating, pre-registration is required. There is a $35 registration fee per member for the Conference, which includes lunch, awards ceremony, workshop and keynote speaker. You will find a Leadership Conference Registration Form on line at www.iowacan.org or by emailing gwarner@iowacan.org. Please complete the form and return it to us along with your $35 per person registration fee. Please pre-register by April 9. The Conference will be well worth your registration costs!

This looks like it will be a great event.
