Hello,

It is my pleasure to announce the second workshop in a new series we are
calling *"Knowledge Mobilization Boot Camps"*.

As the complexity and quantity of data and information grows, we need to
develop better and more effective methods to interact within our workplaces
and personal lives.  It has been said that taking information
andtransmuting it into life-affirming action may turn out to be the
most
advanced and meaningful practice of our time.

I am inviting you to participate in a process that will help to improve our
ability to better use what we know. It would be my privilege to have your
attendance as an active participant of the workshop on *Human Resources for
Knowledge Mobilization* at the Hilton Toronto Airport, Friday, February 20,
2009, starting at 8:00 am until 4pm.

*We will explore three topics:*

   - Characteristics of effective knowledge brokers/mobilizers?
   - How to manage people who are involved in knowledge mobilization?
   - What is needed for knowledge mobilization professional development?

*We will produce three items:*

   - A synthesis of experience from participants.
   - A set of recommendations to the Federal Granting Agencies and key
   Federal and Provincial Government Departments.
   - An agenda of further work to share with the KMb community.

We have great speakers including David Phipps from York University, Melanie
Barwick from SickKids Hospital, and Amy Coupal from Curriculum Services
Canada.

This workshop will be at the Hilton Toronto Airport.  The cost of attendance
and materials is modest and I believe that there is great value to be gained
from the contacts and ideas that will be generated.

More information is found on the registration website:

Please do not hesitate to contact me with comments or questions.

I hope to see you soon.

A bientôt,

--
