Sharing Visions: Intergenerational Work in Appalachian Ohio
Digital Summit Schedule
November 8-22, 2020
In partnership with faculty at Ohio University, staff at OSU Extension in Scioto and Perry Counties, and community partners in the region, The Center for Folklore Studies at The Ohio State University is documenting and promoting cross-county, intergenerational relationship-building, capacity building, and succession planning for grassroots organizations in Scioto and Perry counties in Appalachian Ohio. Our community partners in Appalachian Ohio have expressed that economic, environmental, and cultural changes in the region have impacted intergenerational succession within small community organizations. A number of organizations in these counties are facing retirements of their founding members, making succession a priority for their sustainability. Sharing Visions provides an opportunity to take stock of past and current organizational structures, capacities, and expertise; document generational perspectives and desires for community organizations; and provide opportunities for collaborative, intergenerational strategic and succession planning and knowledge sharing.
All Sharing Visions Summit discussions will be held through a single Zoom meeting room/invitation. Registered participants will be emailed the information to join the meeting rooms by URL or by phone prior to the discussion.
