Dear Leading Change 2012 Participants, Speakers, Sponsors and Stakeholders,

We are living in a time where the cumulative impacts of our current activities will very likely reduce the ability of future generations to live with the same quality of life, access to resources and capacity to grow that we have enjoyed. As many of us place a value on the quality of lives of our generation, and future ones to come, the time is ripe for more of us to learn how to lead the change to a more sustainable society through our own personal actions and through groups and organizations in which we take part.

Each of us have many forums through which we are working towards a better future for Canada; through our personal lives, our professional work, our volunteer activities or all of the above. No matter the forum, leading and working towards a more sustainable society takes a strong value base, ongoing motivation, connection to peers with shared beliefs, and access to mentors who have paved some of the pathways to success. The purpose of the Leading Change movement is to provide these needed elements to an emerging generation of citizens.

Sustainability requires an understanding of the carrying capacity of the planet, and the elements that make it ecologically viable for society to thrive. It also requires an understanding of how to embed new ways of doing things into existing business and government systems. For these reasons, there is a continued emphasis on including emerging professionals and mentors from diverse backgrounds from environment to business to arts in the Leading Change movement.

Discussion and connection are necessary in the change process; however the end goal of the kick-off event to the Leading Change movement, the 2012 Forum for Emerging Environmental and Sustainability Leaders, is ACTION. The question, and the challenge, to all who are part of this experience is – How am I going to change the world?

This may sound like a large expectation to place on our group. However, take heart, the changes initiated by the future and current leaders taking part in this Forum do not have to be enormous or global, in fact it may be best if they are personal, or local in nature. The movement to a more sustainable society starts with our own actions and examining how we interact with the groups we can directly affect. Also, remember “never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world. For, indeed, that’s all who ever have” (Margaret Mead).

Looking forward to working with you.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Watterworth Event Manager

FUNDS FOR THE FUTURE CHALLENGE

Ready to seed, grow, and nurture change within your community?

The Funds for the Future Challenge is quickly becoming one of the most highly anticipated aspects of the Emerging Leaders Forum! This group of 40 engaged, highly-motivated individuals are committed to working together to create and inspire change throughout the year.

Over the course of the Funds for the Future Challenge sessions teams will develop and present proposals for sustainability-related projects which align with one or more of the 7 GLOBE Conference themes.

Session 1. Seed your network

In keeping with Leading Change’s theme of continued action, the Forum will serve as the launching point for the Funding Competition. Connect with your team in person and create a strong sustainability-focused network of peers, mentors, and academics; a process that will be aided by team building exercises.

Session 2. Grow your ideas

Arrive ready to brainstorm. Session 2 will be dedicated to case development: identify the problem, key associated issues, and initiate a solutions oriented discussion.

Session 3. Speed consultation

Session 3 will encourage your team to pursue outside consultation with fellow emerging leaders in other teams, fostering a cross-disciplinary approach, and a joint effort on behalf of all entrepreneurs working towards a common goal. This ‘speed consultation’ process allows teams to begin to think about the proposal process, succinctly and clearly conveying the key issues involved in their projects, anticipating questions from the other teams, while receiving constructive feedback.

Post-GLOBE. Continued Action

Keep in touch with your network through the online discussion forum and share your continued action with the community. We encourage teams to leverage social media tools in circulating and promoting their ideas, engaging the wider public.

In August 2012 teams will attend a one-week ‘mini-MBA bootcamp program’, where they will have the opportunity take skills to the next level by applying your strategy, project management, and facilitation learning to the sustainability field through a week of applied exercises, simulations, all leading up to the live case competition.

Ready? Seed, Grow, Nurture.

WEDNESDAY MARCH 14 Schedule


Oil Sands Leadership Initiative (OSLI) Inspired Conversation7 to 9am, Mackenzie Ballroom, Fairmont Waterfront Centre

During this breakfast 60 Leading Change participants will have the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing dialogue around the Canadian Oil Sands. The questions surrounding the oil sands today are significant, important, complex and do not lend themselves to simple, conventional solutions. The intention of OSLI in organizing this session is to engage people in a dialogue in their search for a viable solution to the complex problem.

The session is intended to engage input from diverse participants in order to:

• refine and improve the initial thinking on the challenge by the organizers and generate questions aimed at increasing everyone’s clarity about the challenge,

• identify potential pilot initiatives to address the key challenge and potential collaborators to design, develop and test the initiative and,

• reach collective decisions about appropriate next steps.

It will start with a brief context-setting presentation by one or more credible individuals who use their time to help participants to more fully understand the nature of the challenge and some initial thinking by the organizers about the nature of the challenge and some initial insights as to how it might be addressed.

Participants will be organized into table groups for easy discussion - each table is served by an informed facilitator who has been well briefed by the organizers as to the operating principles and their role in collecting the key learnings from the conversation.

Some brief support materials are distributed in advance. This material is intended to help the conversation operate in an efficient and effective manner which helps participants contribute the greatest value and get the most out of their brief face-to-face session.

OSLI intends to provide continuity and build momentum through a series of Inspired Conversations that will identify common interests, common purpose and opportunities to work together to operate successfully in a carbon-constrained world.

Getting these energy resources to markets requires pipelines and electricity infrastructure with potentially dramatic environmental and social impacts, such as on Aboriginal communities. Whether it’s Keystone, Northern Gateway or new large-scale electricity generation and transmission, grappling with the sustainable development of energy infrastructure is a critical business and environment issue. This special session will provide an opportunity to hear from key players engaged in the discussion on the development of energy infrastructure in North America.

As a responsible energy developer, Suncor Energy faces an important challenge every day: to provide energy in a way that

minimizes our environmental impact. Our renewable energy team is working on part of the solution. Using revenues from

oil sands development, their job is to develop projects that offset greenhouse gas emissions while creating significant new

business opportunities. Their track record is impressive. Suncor is an owner in six operating wind projects and we’re also

one of the largest biofuels producers in the country. Seeing the possibilities of renewable energy is a key component of our

strategy and helps us build a more sustainable future.
