Description:
On Thursday, November 29th, Community Voices will present Pam McMichael, Director of the Highlander Research and Education Center. The Community Voices talk will be from 7-8 p.m. in Historic Lyric Theatre in downtown Blacksburg, Virginia. Admission is free and all are welcome.

Pam McMichael will speak on the power of change by everyday people and the necessity of deep listening. Pam's talk is titled "Did Horton Hear a Who? An Exploration of the Small and Mighty Voices of the Highlander Center Making Change for 80 Years".

Through stories spanning eight decades, Pam's presentation explores the power to make change through the extraordinary acts of everyday people connected to the Highlander Center. She reflects on the deep listening necessary to find, hear and amplify those community voices, and the challenges and opportunities for deep listening in our fast paced technology-filled world.

The Community Voices speakers are engaged in fostering work that strengthens community. Their leadership includes the capacity to speak cogently and concisely about their experiences, to tell stories that are revealing of their work, and to present ideas for change, ideas that matter.
