Our goal for this program is to help members take the blinders off with respect to recognizing poverty and its causes in their own communities.

We want to give you a safe forum to learn about and talk about what’s happening in your neighborhood and then provide ideas and examples of current successful initiatives.

CFUW has a long history of successful advocacy and we hope that by providing constructive dialogue, tools and suggestions, our members can help to spur on some significant local changes.

The program will be anchored by Dr Joey Edwardh, the Executive Director of Community Development Halton.  Dr Edwardh will give the keynote address and then delegates will break into one of four pre-selected workshops.  The workshops will run through a second cycle and then everyone will reconvene to summarize the discussions and ideas.  Each of the workshop leaders will summarize their two sessions.  Dr Edwardh will facilitate this process.
