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
