Civic & Business Leadership Event - UK

Added 21 October 2011 View full list    Print version    
Stoke-on-Trent has long been one of England's most financially deprived areas, with relatively high unemployment and a low level of civic pride.

In an effort to lift public confidence and encourage bold innovation to reshape the city's future, 2020Plus, the London-based think tank, combined with Avodah Enterprises Ltd and Breathe City Church to host the recent 2020Plus Civic and Business Leadership Event.

The midweek breakfast sessions brought together leaders from both business and civic sectors of the community, for networking and to hear two leadership presentations by Mal Fletcher, the chairman of 2020Plus and director of Next Wave International.

The sessions focused on building a culture of confidence and enlisting the support and creativity of the Millennial generation. The material was very well received and interest is high in a planned follow-on event which is scheduled for March 8, 2012.

Introducing the sessions, host James Galloway - leader of Avodah and pastor of Breathe City Church - explained that the 2020Plus concept is being hosted in various cities across the UK over the next two years.

During his brief visit to Stoke, a city he has visited a number of times before, Mal was interviewed by BBC Radio and the Sentinel, the major regional newspaper.

Re: 'The Cashless Society' TV show... with rising crime rates & the threat of terrorism many people would welcome RFID technology, the cashless society & one world government to solve our problems. Should we be more aware of what they might be getting themselves into?

Since discovering the Edges documentaries and the way Christian faith relates to hot topics, my faith has grown. Don't stop doing what you do - you do it well!
