All Chapter members are invited to attend ‘What’s the Buzz?’, a special pre-Summit session to be held the afternoon of June 10, 2008! The afternoon will be MC'ed by the Toronto Chapter, our hosts, and is meant for Chapters to inspire each other, for members to get to know each other, and to kick-start a great Summit experience!

The session will start with a speaker meant to inspire Chapters at the community level followed by a Chapter Brag Session showcasing compelling stories that illustrate best practices from which other chapters can learn – creating a transferable “ideas bank” useful to all going forward. There will be plenty of time to mix and mingle. Don’t miss this perfect opportunity to learn, liaise, and gain inspiration for ‘Shifting into the Mainstream’ through your local Chapter activities. The afternoon agenda is as follows:
