"Building Momentum for Systems Change” A Live Webinar
Date:  Thursday, July 16, 2009  1:00 – 2:30 Pacific   (4:00 – 5:30 Eastern )

This webinar will discuss the role of leadership in building momentum for systems change, change management processes, and creating a sense of urgency for systems change. Participants will be encouraged to envision and articulate how their systems change effort will result in changes in experiences for children and families involved, or at risk of involvement in child welfare.  Participants will also explore strategies for communicating and engaging others in the system change envisioned.

While this webinar will provide an opportunity for sharing among sites selected to plan systems change implementation projects, the webinar is open to others who are interested in exploring strategies for building momentum for systems change.  Click Here to register for this webinar.

Taking Ideas to Action & Results: Creating Logic Models to Support Systems Change will focus on developing a logic model to support systems change. Participants will gain a working knowledge of how to link their ideas about the vision and mission of systems change efforts into strategies and results that support the achievement of the system change goals.  Watch this webinar now.
