Following the CAN Do in Auckland and with new faces on our committee, we're developing our strategy.
Feedback at CAN Do showed a range of views on what we should focus on: support for local advocates, a strong national voice, campaigns. Where should we put our resources? We are looking for a group of a dozen or so to help the CAN committee finish off the work done at the CAN Do.
Silverstream Retreat, Lower Hutt, 22-23 June. We'll begin with a facilitated planning session, then turn this into action plans.
We'll offer training in topics such as campaigning, building relationships, social media and effective submissions.
We'll share resources and build contacts across our local groups. And we'll provide great food, time to relax and ride.
We're inviting those interested in guiding cycling advocacy from our groups and will help with travel costs, if required.
Venue: Silverstream Retreat, 3 Reynolds Bach Drive, Lower Hutt, Wellington
Getting there: contact Patrick for a ride. Train info.
Purpose The purposes of the event are to:
- Create and agree a strategic plan for CAN for the next 5 - 7 years
- Define and plan the activities required to meet the strategy
In addition:
- To provide committee members with the opportunity to hold a face to face committee meeting
- To provide induction training to committee members on CAN's website etc
- To provide peer-to-peer training to other participants on advocacy related skills.
