2017 North American Conference: Pathways - Are We Facing a P2 Crisis or an Opportunity?

Hosted by:

• Stacee Adams, Utah Representative, IAP2 Intermountain Chapter
• Leah Jaramillo, President, IAP2 USA
• Penny Mabie, President, IAP2 Puget Sound Chapter
• Catherine Smith, Board of Directors, Communications Committee Lead

In February 2017, IAP2 USA launched a first of its kind national dialogue series called “Are we facing a P2 crisis or opportunity,” to examine if and how the current political climate is influencing P2. In recent months, this dialogue was replicated in cities across the USA, putting IAP2 in a leadership role on this critically important issue.

Pathway participants will experience the dialogue and the World Café technique, then review the outputs from the previously held dialogues, compare that to their own experience and identify commonalities, themes and patterns that can be used for the Greater Good of P2. Friday’s session is a wrap-up that gives participants an opportunity to determine where we go from here – to make recommendations for future IAP2 USA actions as well as recommendations for practitioners, participants, owners and decision-makers. The goal of the session is for participants to leave with an understanding of the trends in P2 and to engage with IAP2 USA in building the Greater Good for P2 across the nation.
