Idea - Raising the bar for technology infrastructure and capacity in progressive community organizing groups

The field of organizing has made significant strides in building technology capacity, but we have a really long way to go. The problems I see today are not too different from the problems I was seeing 10 years ago.

Dear xxx,

I’d like to invite you to a unique gathering that I’m helping shape this year called Web of Change.

The aim is to connect a small network (100 or so) of leading thinkers and do-ers in our field doing "online engagement" -- people deeply dedicated to transformative work on the web to improve the world. It's NOT another how-to-do-twitter-and-facebook-and-look-at-the-expert type event. It's about hashing through the big issues in our field with a tribe who can make change happen.

I'm excited to say that I've been invited as a "Fellow" this year to contribute to the conversations. Which means I also get to nominate a handful of smart people to join me at the retreat. People I respect who I think would have a lot to both gain and offer. You immediately came to mind.

If you're interested let me know and we can chat through the details. Some more info below and at the website: http://webofchange.org Let me know!

Cheers,

xxx
