Position Your Council as a Sustainability Powerhouse with the LeaderSHIFT Forum

The Boy Scouts of America has been leading the way in outdoor education and environmental stewardship for more than a century. Continuing the conversation about sustainability ensures your council contributes to this legacy. 

On Tuesday, October 27, 2015, the LeaderSHIFT Forum will give you an opportunity to do just that. This live broadcast will empower you to position your council as a leader in the broader arena of sustainability, which seeks to balance the needs of people, prosperity, and the planet.

LeaderSHIFT builds on the momentum from the Sustainability Summits in West Virginia in 2013 and 2014. This event will be broadcast live from the National Geographic headquarters in Washington, D.C. and combine presentations with local breakouts and work sessions in councils across the country. The event gives you an easy, low-cost opportunity to bring together staff, volunteers, donors, and community members to deepen your team’s knowledge about sustainability and launch dialogues about local issues and solutions.

Additionally, with the LeaderSHIFT Forum broadcast, you can:

• Celebrate local heroes and Scouts working on sustainability issues
• Engage organizations and individuals who might not otherwise connect with the BSA
• Learn strategies for making your council more sustainable
• Harness the power of local news media to tell your council’s story

Best of all, you’ll land extensive support as you plan and lead your part of the LeaderSHIFT Forum. Support materials will include a toolkit with timelines, sample materials, and more. To participate in this influential event, complete the registration form so we can contact you.
