A centre for excellence - building resilience through education, collaboration and innovation
September 7 – 9, 2011
As a leader, have you found yourself watching the news and wondering if you’ve got what it takes to manage a catastrophic event? In a moment of honest self reflection have you wondered if you have all the skills you need if you find yourself in charge of a major crisis?
We can’t promise to make you a better leader, but we can promise to expose you to innovative thinking, new research, and complex case studies. You will be asked to challenge your own assumptions about leadership, the future arc of disaster management, and ask yourself some difficult questions about what it takes to lead in times of turbulence.

Working with communities after disaster often presents challenging situations and difficulties in decision making, particularly when there is conflict. This one day workshop will provide the opportunity to hear from speakers who have worked with communities in conflict and examined community processes in disaster recovery. Issues and strategies will be explored in smaller group work. The workshop has been designed for people who have or may be involved in working directly with community such as local government, NGOs, and community members.
