CHESTNUT HILL, MA - The Center for Corporate Citizenship at Boston College is offering the following seminar:

The Institute on Corporate Community Involvement
April 28-30 Boston, MA

The Institute on Corporate Community Involvement is the best introduction to corporate community involvement and corporate citizenship available. It positions community involvement as it relates to corporate citizenship, and focuses on proactive planning, tools and techniques to assure that community involvement is an integral component of a company's business strategy. The Institute provides a step-by-step framework to develop and implement a community involvement program and forms the basis for understanding relationship building, issues management, and strategy development. It is appropriate for experienced managers interested in developing a more strategic, planned and focused approach to community involvement, for functional managers who also have responsibility for their company's community involvement efforts, and for newcomers to the field.

Key takeaways:

  • Establishing and maintaining relationships of trust with community stakeholders and key publics
  • Conducting company and community assessments
  • Analyzing and prioritizing emerging community issues, needs and expectations
  • Designing strategic program responses that tie with business objectives
  • Securing management support and buy-in
