Is your region investment ready?

There’s a lot of time spent talking about problems. What would happen if a room full of motivated community members got together to talk about opportunities?

In this workshop you’ll learn alongside other locals as you kick off your investment ready journey and learn how readiness can give life to your community’s greatest aspirations.

Who should attend?

Readiness is a tool that any regional community member can use to create and sustain change. You may work or volunteer for a local not for profit, be involved in a community group, run a local business, or attend a local school. It’s relevant to anyone ready to create change.

Content

The workshop will cover the following themes:

• Readiness index – what is it and how does it work?
• How to steer away from problems and towards opportunities
• Identify local networks and map local relationships and partnerships, capacity and capabilities
• Improve and expand funding opportunities

And there’s more! Following the workshop participants will have access to:
