The conference will
bring together hundreds of the most active, thoughtful, and influential
people involved in public engagement and group process work across the
U.S. and Canada. They'll be highlighting the best of what’s happening in
civil discourse and community problem-solving across the country — so
come and share your work, meet new colleagues, and learn about
the latest innovations in this vital field.</p><div class="">It’s always great to have an excuse to get together with kindred spirits!</div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I hope to see you in Boston!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Appreciatively,</div><div class="">Peggy</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><br class=""><br class=""><div class="">
