Program Highlights:

·        August 8^th, 2013: Program starts at 3 PM with a panel discussion featuring two practitioners directly involved in initiatives to alleviate homelessness (Gail Dorfman from Hennepin County, Minnesota & Cathy Jackson from Central Florida) and two academics with expertise in public leadership and cross-sector collaboration (Barbara Crosby from the University of Minnesota and Thomas Bryer from the University of Central Florida). John Bryson from the University of Minnesota will facilitate the panel discussion.

·        August 9^th, 2013: Utilizing the Design Thinking for Scholars framework, participants will address the challenge of building cross sector collaboration to address homelessness in our communities.

·        Breakfast and lunch on August 9^th is included.

·        We will recognize the Americorps VISTA volunteers who have spent the past year working on K-12 Homeless Education issues during lunch on August 9^th.

This is the Network of Leadership Scholars' yearly cross-sector collaboration event and a continuation of the 2012 Strategic Doing initiative. The main objective of this PDW is to provide Academy Members from different divisions with the opportunity to work together with practitioners, government representatives and other stakeholders, to deploy research and scholarly knowledge for the purpose of homelessness alleviation.

Hope to see many of you on August 8^th at the event.

Best wishes,
