Reflections after Innovation Zone at LGA Conference 2019 (verbal update)

Minutes:

Rhian Gladman, Productivity Programme Manager, introduced item seven.  Rhian’s update included details on very well attended seminars in the Innovation Zone:

 

-       Lexi the dog, which aims to tackle social isolation.

-       A cycling programme, which aims to help dementia patients. 

-       Innovation sketch boards - drawn by artists over the three days.

-       The open microphone sessions; Rhian made a special thanks to the Chairman for his energy and leadership. 

 

The Chairman in-turn, praised the staff and all those that attended, and added that it was one of the most successful years so far.

 

Members discussed possibly producing and recording the seminars online going forward, for those that could not make the Annual Conference.  Officers took on board this idea, and the discussion was concluded by the Chairman who stated the sketch boards will be digitalised.
