Wow! Y'all!! I am blown away by the response to the Leaders in Impact event that Anna Adlard and I are hosting next week at Orenge with the support of Alva Horton. The list of folks who have registered is incredible. But one thing that Anna and I both forgot to mention is that **space is limited.** When we first started planning this event, we decided to choose a smaller space so that we could have more one-on-one conversations. (And I'm also a total introvert and find large, crowded spaces overwhelming.) Why am I telling you this? Space is filling up quickly, so if you'd like to attend, I recommend registering today. And this is not me (solely) wearing my marketing hat. I would just really like to see you there! :) The link to register is in the first comment. The $10 ticket goes directly to excellent food and drinks—and our gorgeous space! -------------------- More details: WHY ARE WE CONVENING? 🌱 To nurture a place-based network for impact leaders in Durham 🌱 To spark new connections, ideas and collaborations on impact work 🌱 To provide a space for leaders to connect with peer leaders who face many of the same challenges WHO SHOULD ATTEND? 🌱 Leaders in Durham who work in environmental or social impact WHY JOIN US? 🌱 To connect with a network of impact leaders in our very own community 🌱 To engage in meaningful conversation with leaders at the intersection of environmental and social impact 🌱 To uncover opportunities for collaborations, connections and partnerships with like-minded peers

You can ask YouTube to notify you by clicking on the "notify me" button. Opening Session to the 2024 Resnick Aspen Action Forum We gather bringing with us a myriad of concerns: personal, social, and national division and conflict, technological change and political uncertainty, the demands of individual leadership challenges, and a sense of isolation and depletion. Amidst these challenges, the urgency to reconnect with our common humanity has never been more critical. Dive into the turbulent histories and present-day challenges that shape our world and find inspiration in leaders who have confronted seemingly insurmountable obstacles. How do we find hope in moments of dark despair? Where does our resiliency come from? How might we transcend the frameworks that keep us entrenched in polarization and paralysis to move toward a brighter future? Each summer, the Resnick Aspen Action Forum offers the opportunity to come together with high-integrity, action-oriented leaders to reflect, refresh, and recommit to confronting some of society's greatest challenges. About the Aspen Institute: The Aspen Institute is a global nonprofit organization whose purpose is to ignite human potential to build understanding and create new possibilities for a better world. Founded in 1949, the Institute drives change through dialogue, leadership, and action to help solve society’s greatest challenges. It is headquartered in Washington, DC and has a campus in Aspen, Colorado, as well as an international network of partners. https://lnkd.in/gyb5NTAB

SPARKlers, #WIG parties, Spark Tank – IYKYK. Our annual SPARK Retreat is my favorite thing we do at Rent Responsibly. STR alliance leaders work the 25th hour of the day, as Dana Lubner likes to say, and SPARK is our chance to thank them for that, treat them to some RR-style R&R, and make sure every second of their effort and time goes 10x as far. But one thing the STR industry doesn't talk enough about when it comes to advocacy is *it. can. be. FUN!* Nominate someone (including yourself!) to have all the best kinds of fun at SPARK by THIS Friday >> https://lnkd.in/eV63rVdb
