New Caring Economy Starter Course - FREE!

Hello Conversation Leaders:

Do you have friends and colleagues who are interested when they hear you speak about a Caring Economy, but need to learn more before they feel ready to commit to the leadership program?

Now you can steer them to this FREE lunchtime webinar!  It will be just 50 minutes long, and will include:

• a dynamic introductory presentation about the principles of a Caring Economy and ways to participate in the Caring Economy campaign, then 
• an opportunity for Q&A and discussion with Riane Eisler, Kim Otis (Director of the Caring Economy Campaign) and myself (Director of the Caring Economy Leadership Program.)

We're offering the Starter Course twice this Fall:

September 5th 
at 11:00 - 11:50 am Pacific; 2:00 - 2:50 Eastern.

and October 3rd
at 11:00 - 11:50 am Pacific; 2:00 - 2:50 Eastern.

Did I mention it is FREE?!

All you need to do is register to attend - and you'll get instructions for how to join the event.

There's also a bit more information on this webpage.

Of course, you are welcome to attend as well if you'd like a refresher!

$100 Scholarship Just for Knowing You!

Hello Dear Conversation Leaders,

Who in your network would make a great Caring Economy Conversation Leader?

Did you know that anyone you refer to the CELP program this fall will automatically receive a $100 scholarship?  (They can request additional financial support if needed.)  This way, you can not only pass on the information about a great learning/action opportunity, but your friends and colleagues will enjoy a significant scholarship just for knowing you!

Please share as expansively as possible this snazzy new Information Packet and encourage your contacts to put your name on the registration form where it says "Were you referred to this program by a program graduate?"  (You'll get a thank you from us as well - we couldn't do it without you!)

Just a reminder:  Fall Cohorts start:

Cohort N:  August 30th
Cohort O:  September 18th
Cohort P:  October 17th

Thanks so much for helping us connect to great new members of the CELP community!
