KS Beats the Virus Initiative Orientation Meetings this Week

Submitted by Elaine Johannes

The Kansas Leadership Center (KLC) is working to Beat the Virus by holding 1000+, one-hour small group online discussions to engage Kansans and mobilize local solutions that impact the effects of COVID. More information about KS Beats the Virus is at https://kansasleadershipcenter.org/klc-announces-kansas-beats-the-virus/.

To support the involvement of local KSRE units, KLC will be holding two orientation sessions for KSRE professionals this Wednesday and Thursday; 12 - 1 p.m. These one-hour, online sessions demonstrate the small group (8-15 participants) brain-storming process that leads to small scale, short-term action plans. If you choose to convene a local discussion before December 31, your unit receives a $500 honorarium, and your group can also apply for a $3,000 mini-grant to implement local solutions. Register for one of the lunch-hour orientation sessions through either of the following links:

Wednesday, December 16 (12 - 1 p.m.):

Thursday, December 17 (12 - 1 p.m.):

Join your colleagues in this opportunity to move the COVID "needle" in a positive direction for Kansas!
