Monaghan Community Forum and Networking Event

Tuesday 22nd November 2011

Monaghan Community Forum will be holding their AGM and a Networking Event on Tuesday 22nd of November in Corcaghan Community Centre.

We are very aware and committed to the value of networking in the Community and will be asking those in attendance to take part in facilitated Round Table discussions under various themes. For the past number of years we have had 10 networks affiliated to Monaghan Community Forum.  

Each Network aims to bring groups together with a common interest in the county. At this networking event we would like your views on the value of networking and how you would see these networks working together in the future. With your help we can identify the current issues that are relevant to your interests, we can establish the best way forward to help each other out and we can look at ways to ensure Monaghan can provide opportunities for Community & Voluntary Groups to flourish.

Each themed table will discuss a number of set questions and will also elect (where necessary) one or two representatives to the Community Forum Executive Committee. By having representatives sitting on the Forum Executive Committee each network will ensure the issues relevant to them are brought to the table and can be addressed. In the same way issues that arise at the committee meeting may be relevant to your network and can be brought back for them to act on or discuss.

All feedback will be given on the night and a report will be compiled and distributed to each network after the event.

Your views will be very welcome at this meeting and can really make a difference.

You may also receive an invitation in the post.

If you would like to attend please either post back your invitation  or  reply by email – stating how many from your group will be attending and which table you would like to sit at  or phone Dara at 047 73724

Discussion Groups on the night will be:
