What’s special about this program?

  • Calgary 2012 is one of the rare opportunities once every two years to gather in one place to renew our community.   Our last face-to-face board and community meeting was October, 2010 at the GO Summit at BMO in Toronto.  Our next Global Conferences are tentatively planned for NYC in 2014 and North Europe in 2016

  • Our community meetings sometimes called Legacy Days, are less formal, more participative and designed to strengthen the core group, deal with organizational and practice issues and to plan for the future.

  • We’ll use a survey and forum discussion using Moodle, our Learning and Project Management System, to plan our time together.
