The workshop format
is an intensive engagement of citizen leaders and professionals.
The two and one half days are highly participatory with
lectures, case-study presentations, and interactive group
problem solving, including work on realistic issues in a
hypothetical small town. The goal is to provide advanced
leadership skills supported by information and planning
tools that can be taken home to all corners of our state
and applied to the process of Designing Our Future!
