Terry Moe - Core Teams

We had a guest speaker come to the Calgary Alliance for the Common Good to present on core teams, his book and more. It was an online conversation about organizing, core teams and community building.  We invited author, pastor and organizer Terry Moe to join us and reflect on his book, The Bush Still Burns. He has done lots of thinking and teaching about how organizing connects with adaptive leadership and developed the Transformational Leadership Project.

We had a guest speaker come to the Calgary Alliance for the Common Good and other organizations to present on how to speak to issues surrounding climate change, political advocacy and crafting stories that can motivate action.
