FLASH CONVERSATIONS

CWR Flash Conversations are member-focused web conferences addressing emerging or ongoing issues facing communicators and their congregations/organizations. Because they are often time sensitive, Flash Conversations are sometimes held on relatively short notice. Flash Conversations benefit CWR members by using the tools of the organization to facilitate shared knowledge and create opportunity for collaboration.

In order to ensure free conversation and a supportive environment for participants, Flash Conversations are not recorded nor are extensive notes taken. No advance registration is required. Flash Conversations typically last between 45 and 60 minutes.
