SUMMARY:Ignite Community Leadership
DESCRIPTION:The Chamber's Ignite Community Leadership program is designed to bring together emerging and existing leaders to explore leadership within themselves and for their community.\n\n\n\nSession # 8 Organizational Leadership: Communication and Conflict\n\nInstructor: Dana Haagenson\n\n\n\nNon-Profit Speed Networking: Ignite Class of 2026\n\nCommunity Connection Session\n\nThis fast-paced event is designed to spark meaningful signatures between the Ignite Community Leadership participants and local mission-driven organizations. Success relies on concise storytelling and active listening.\n\nLogistics & Set-Up\n\n	Location: YMCA of the Northern Sky Community Room (Enter near the hallway/bathrooms).\n	Station Prep: Look for your organization's table tent. Each table is shared by two non-profits.\n	Materials: Please bring 14 sets of materials (business cards\, brochures\, or small SWAG). Tabletop signage or a floor banner is welcome but keep the display simple and compact.\n\n"Speed" Schedule\n\n\n	11:15 AM: Kick-off & Introductions. We will start with a lightning round of introductions (Name\, Organization\, and Role) for both the Ignite class and the non-profit representatives.\n	Rotation: Each of the 14 students has a designated starting point.\n	Timer: Rounds last 4 minutes.\n	\n		30-Second Warning: A signal will chime to help you wrap up.\n		The Switch: We will announce the rotation.\n	\n	\n	Final Round: End time 12:15pm   THANK YOU!\n\nConversation Starters: Non-Profit Reps\n\nYour goal: Gauge student interests\, strengths\, and potential for long-term board or committee engagement.\n\n\n	The Superpower: "As an emerging leader\, what is one professional 'superpower' you're looking to lend to a community project?"\n	The Motivation: "Outside of your professional role\, what community issues are you most passionate about solving?"\n	The Style: "Do you prefer being 'boots on the ground' or working on high-level strategy and governance?"\n	The Perception: "Before today\, what was your honest first impression of our organization?"\n\nTips for a Smooth Round:\n\n\n	The 30-Second Rule: Keep your personal bio to 30 seconds. This leaves 3.5 minutes for the "meat" of the conversation.\n	Mission & Impact: Focus on who you help and how you do it\, rather than a long list of programs.
