About the Keynote
Building a Resilience Culture
with Charles Vogl, Author of The Art of Community
In a time of growing uncertainty and disconnection, building meaningful relationships is essential to strong communities.
In this interactive session, Charles Vogl, author of The Art of Community, will invite participants to explore what knitting a powerful community looks like and why it matters now more than ever.
Designed to be engaging and practical, the session offers insights participants can carry forward as Greater Worcester Community Foundation marks 50 years of community leadership.
