CCYP is thrilled to welcome author Melody Warnick as the 2020 Shape Your Cape Summit Keynote Speaker. Melody will speak about the concept of “place attachment” and how to build a better community, economy, and sense of place by loving where you live. In her Keynote, Melody will share data, case studies, and stories to explain why place attachment matters and how to use it to build a better town (and be a happier person). Attendees will learn a few simple strategies to create economic growth, well-being, and more place-based joy in their community. A regular speaker on the topic of place, Melody also is a regular writer for Reader’s Digest, The Guardian, and O: The Oprah Magazine. Her book, This Is Where You Belong: Finding Home Wherever You Are, has been featured in the New York Times, Time Magazine, Fast Company, Psychology Today, and other media outlets.
