A Look Back on CRI's 2024 Conference
Pathways to Resilience: The Power of Play
The Pathways to Resilience Conference, an extraordinary event that took place June 18-19, 2024, was held at the Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center in Roanoke, VA. This year, we dove into dynamic ‘pathways’ of resilience, transforming Edith Grotberg’s traditional pillars into practical and interactive routes towards a stronger future.
The Community Resilience Initiative thanks everyone who attended the 2024 conference, the folks who hosted us at the Hotel Roanoke, our esteemed keynote speakers and breakout presenters, and our conference organizers Rick Griffin and Laura Clark.
Conference Highlights:
- Inspiring Keynotes: Our keynote speakers offered deep insights into resilience from various angles.
