Syracuse NY Embedding Collaborative Governance in Universities, Communities, and Governments Numerous centers for collaborative governance have sprung up at universities across the country and around the world. These centers seek to assist citizens and leaders to engage in dialogue, discussion, problem solving, and conflict resolution - to better address today's numerous policy challenges. This conference will focus on one central question: How do we make collaborative governance an embedded feature in the regular work of universities, communities, and governments? We welcome the submission of proposals for presentations and panel sessions - ideally connecting directly to that question. Proposals should also fit within one of the following four conference tracks: Program Development (work, advancement, and growth of these university centers), Research (traditional academic scholarship...), Teaching & Training (in the classroom and to external audiences), and Practice & Service (application to "real-world" problems and situations). Please contact us to access the Proposal form, due back by February 29, 2012. The Conference will be held June 10 - June 12, 2012 in Syracuse, NY.
