Some don't trust those who created these problems. But many hold positive visions of a better world, searching for ways to create and maintain a sustainable future through their values, environment, and economy. Join speaker Ann Naymie as she explores: How can ethical leaders of older generations share their wisdom and experience to provide youth with much-needed guidance? What lessons from the past can help inform the future? How can elders reach out and connect with young people to support their hopes and dreams, and what can they teach us?                click here to RSVP   or phone: 604-685-6560                              - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - DATE:            Wednesday, April 8th -- 7:15-8:30 am LOCATION:     BC Hydro Building                      333 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver                      Check-in at Security Desk - Main floor lobby COST:           Members - $7.00     Non-Members - $10.00                       (muffins, tea and coffee included)                              - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - About Our Speaker: Ann Naymie administered the Ethics Education Initiative for the BC School Superintendents Association's (BCSSA).
