EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION ENDS APRIL 12TH!
The Arkansas Development Society is an education non-profit organization whose purpose is to advance community development and the community development profession. Come join us as we discuss attributes of a strong community, with special emphasis in the most important asset, our human capacity. We will include sessions to focus on our own strengths, both physically and mentally. Come dressed comfortably as there will be movement involved and a relaxed atmosphere that will help us connect with ourselves and each other. As we grow as individuals, our combined strengths grow exponentially. Please share with others that might be interested.
