In an effort to inspire innovative leadership and cultivate conversations about philanthropy, Hutchinson Community Foundation hosts a Community Connect Luncheon series for nonprofit staff and board members, as well as interested members of the larger community.

We will watch a TED Talk with ideas around a shared community challenge and then use the World Cafe model to engage in conversations about our local perspectives on the topic. A light lunch will be provided. Please RSVP in advance.

From 11: 30 a.m. to 1 p.m. April 5, we will explore the challenge of living in a world of big systems — education, health care, government, business — that too often fail the people they’re meant to serve. And they’re all living systems: complex, emergent, and unpredictable. What if we focused not on the big systems but on our living local systems and what we each can do differently to effect change?

Please join us for this lunch, video, and conversation to process our shared community challenge.
