If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together. –Old African Proverb
EnCiv’s vision is to create a networked civic platform backed by a civic network of member organizations. We took a big step toward realizing that vision this past Wednesday, January 24, by hosting our first-ever inter-organizational meeting. (Until last week, our outreach had been confined to individual conversations.) EnCiv CEO Will Ferguson convened representatives from some half-dozen civic organizations and tech developers, who introduced themselves to each other and learned about the EnCiv concept. The short Zoom video meeting generated a palpable sense of excitement and an agreement to meet again in a couple of weeks to explore specific areas of complementarity.
