THE PROGRAM:
Community groups of every size and scope at every level need to learn how to seek power, and grasp it, and wield it to bring about their goals.
You need to understand how the machinations work, so you can ensure your members, stakeholders, clients ? anyone who has been excluded,
or could be excluded ? can get their fair share too.
Communities in Control 2010, to be held in Melbourne on May 31 and June 1,will look at issues of power ? who has it; who needs it; how to get it;
and how to use it to create change for equality, inclusion and justice.
There are many kinds of power, at many levels, coming from many sources. There are many ways to gain power. There are many ways to use power.

Sustainable Fundraising & Marketing in Hard Times
You can?t rest your good works on any one fundraising source that may buckle under you in the bad times. The future of your organisation depends on predictability and sustainability.
Balance your strategies across six solid foundation posts ? donations; grants; community-business partnerships; memberships; special events; and earned income ? and get your marketing right, and you can ride out the quakes.
*Whilst the Communities in Control Conference is an unmissable event for anyone involved in the community sector, you do not have to attend the conference in order to attend the Post-Conference Skills Day.
