Heartland Center for Leadership Development: New 30-Minute Webinar Series: Heartland Hints--Live Online Training for Busy People

The Heartland Center for Leadership Development invites you to participate in our newest offering of webinars entitled "Heartland Hints--Live Online Training for Busy People." This webinar series will cover 5 Strategies for Active Economic Development, focusing first on Stopping Economic Leakage.

Each webinar in this series last only 30 minutes, enough time to enjoy a lunch break while participating in an online learning atmosphere designed to allow participation through webinar activities and peer learning. Traditional Heartland Center webinars run for one hour but realizing the busy times you face, we are bolstering our offerings to include these 30-minute sessions.

The Heartland Center has a 25-year history and is known for our interactive workshop facilitation, our annual institutes, strategic planning, town hall meetings and now, our webinars. Previous webinars have focused on board effectiveness, strengthening leadership, appreciative inquiry and myths about the future of small towns. The Center also actively trains other organizations to conduct their own webinars.
