July Neighbors Salon: Bringing the World into the Room

Bringing the World into the Room: Background considerations and questions.
MotiveSpace has had a great series of conversations this year, and we’ve heard a lot of good feedback about future topics you’d like us to address. It sounds like everyone values the chance to come together in-person, but would like better ways to keep the conversation going after the Salons. MotiveSpace is also getting contacted more frequently by non-local and busy allies, who can’t make it to the Salons but who want to get involved.
This is a timely topic for the communities MotiveSpace supports, as well. Some of the Seed Teams (project teams) MotiveSpace has been working with this year are doing such a great job of reaching out to friends and neighbors that they’re growing faster than anyone could have expected. As new allies come on board and a Community Story begins to emerge, it becomes increasingly important to document the conversations which took place along the way.
