Join us in Chicago on June 20, 2025, for a three-hour, in-person workshop on a critical yet often-overlooked topic: effective stakeholder engagement. This topic is essential for anyone designing programs to support businesses with complex needs and individuals who have historically faced barriers to access.

Expect to learn:

  • Best practices for effective, collaborative stakeholder engagement

  • How to leverage partnerships to reach stakeholders

  • Stakeholder engagement strategies that ensure everyone’s perspectives are heard and validated

We are pleased to offer this beta training at a discounted rate. In exchange, we will ask each participant to complete a 15-minute post-training survey about their experience. We will also take photos during the training that may be used for future training marketing purposes.
