Yukon College Hosts International Sociocracy Governance Conference

Whitehorse – Yukon College will be hosting a three day public conference, June 14-16, on the governance model of sociocracy, also known as Dynamic Governance. The Conference, “The River Flows Both Ways” is attracting the world’s leading thinkers in sociocracy to assist attendees in developing this innovative governance system in their workplaces. Several employees at Yukon  College have been exploring the use of the sociocracy model in their administrative framework.

In attendance will be Gerard Endenburg, the Dutch founder and lead thinker of Sociocracy, who has successfully implemented Dynamic Governance into his engineering firm. Many European countries support sociocracy in political and business systems. Attendees will also hear from other international and national practitioners who use Dynamic Governance in their workplace as a means to engage employees.

“Sustainable organizations are built on employee contribution,” says Vice-President Dr. Karen Barnes. “The College’s direction of positive growth is a process which starts with employees input from all levels. It’s a wonderful opportunity to have the world leaders of sociocracy here at Yukon College to share their knowledge and practical experience.” The conference has several college employees registered who will be getting a more in-depth look at the governance system that they have been practising for the last two years.  

Registration for the conference is available on-line or at 668 8770. The conference fees are $425.00. More information about the Dynamic Governance system and the conference, “The River Flows Both Ways”, can be found at http://www.riverflowsbothways.com/
