The Australian Centre for Corporate Social Responsibility is proud to announce that leading Canadian stakeholder relations expert Ann Svendsen will present two-days of transformative learning in her workshop Co-Creative Stakeholder Engagement: Taking CSR to a new level, in Melbourne on October 26-27, 2006.

This workshop has been so effective in changing organisational understanding on stakeholder engagement in North America that it is now part of the core curriculum for the prestigious Centre for Corporate Citizenship at Boston College. It is being offered for the first time in Australia exclusively through the Australian Centre for Corporate Social Responsibility.

Designed for leaders from business, government and civil society organisations who want to enhance their strategic abilities and skills in building and convening stakeholder networks, participants will explore leading edge thinking, models and tools for productive stakeholder engagement.

The early bird deadline is Friday 29 September and numbers are limited.
