Coffee and Case Study: Place-Based Sabbaticals: Volunteer Talent Creating an Impact

Coffee & Case Studies

This year, we are introducing a new learning opportunity – Coffee and Case Studies. We’ll start early, before the general sessions on Monday and Tuesday with short (30-minute), eye-opening case study sessions, which – along with a cup of hot java – are guaranteed to jump start your learning gears! Come join us!

Place-Based Sabbaticals: Volunteer Talent Creating an Impact

This session is sponsored by TimeLooper Inc.

Time: Tuesday, March 3, 7:45 am - 8:15 am

Location: Grand Ballroom, Salon H

Presented by:

Julie Dougherty, Director of Park Stores, Glacier National Park Conservancy

Ilyssa Kyu, Founder, Amble

Last fall Glacier National Park Conservancy partnered with Amble to leverage existing assets like staff housing, programming and their surrounding beautiful landscape to host 10 creative professionals for a month long sabbatical. Hear how this partnership enabled GNPC to access top-notch talent they wouldn’t have otherwise been able to afford and the impactful projects these volunteers supported.
