Events

HLN Professional Development Series

Facilitated by Ashley Moon
📅 Dates: July 9, 16, & 23
🕛 Time: 12:00–1:00 PM
📍 Location: Chamber of Commerce

Join us for a three-part summer series designed to spark meaningful dialogue, creative thinking, and personal reflection—centered around big ideas from Abundance by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson.

Each session will begin with a brief framing of the week’s theme and move into guided prompts and energizing group conversation. The space is designed to be casual, reflective, and community-focused—perfect for professionals looking to connect ideas from the book to their own work and impact.

We’ll also sprinkle in light creative reflection or visual thinking moments, keeping things engaging while making the most of the hour.

Session Themes

July 9: Why Can’t We Build?
Exploring what holds back progress in our systems, culture, and thinking.

July 16: Designing for a Culture of Capacity
How do we build communities, organizations, and mindsets that support growth and possibility?

July 23: What Does Abundance Look Like Locally?
Bringing it home—translating big ideas into action within our own community.

📖 Optional Reading Guide:
Ashley will share a short reading guide with 2–3 suggested chapters per session. Reading is encouraged but not required—insightful participation is always welcome, whether you’ve read the chapters or not.

Let’s explore what abundance means—for us, for our work, and for our community.

You’re Invited: Brown Bags and Bonds – A Community Conversation About Our Schools

Join us for a unique opportunity to step inside Helena High School and see firsthand the needs in shaping the future of education in Helena.

Brown Bags and Bonds is an open invitation to our community to learn more about the upcoming school bonds election and how these bonds will support critical updates to our aging school facilities. We will have your lunch- you just need to bring your questions and bring your voice.

What to Expect:

• Hear from the people who know our schools best, tour the facilities, and learn how you can play a pivotal role in shaping the future of education in our community by supporting the bonds that will fund these essential improvements.
