Priya Parker: "The way we gather has been changed forever"

Returning from a weekend away, I caught up to listen to a two-part podcast series with Brene Brown and Priya Parker. It is well worth listening to for anyone conducting meetings or working in a community (formal or informal, work related or otherwise).

Priya Parker writes:
"The way we gather has been changed forever. How will we come together moving forward?  
This past year, we've had to figure out how to teach and wed and learn and work and graduate and worship and organize and celebrate and mourn without being physically together.

At long last, gathering is coming back. This re-emergence is the ultimate gathering makeover. And we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to experiment, re-imagine, and dream up how we want to gather now. 

Let’s gather again as we never have before. Join me in this exploration this summer. "  Visit https://gatheringmakeover.com/
Priya talks with Brene Brown in a two-part series, here is the link to Part 1

and the link to the Meeting Makeover talked about in Part 2

FANN recommended action -> create your nonprofit entry in MWConnects

While we are working on our Franklin directory, we heard from Anna Cross at our last meeting about MWConnects. If a nonprofit enters their info at MWConnects, it will prepopulate the MA level network directory. Two listings for a single entry.

Why do this?
It creates visibility of the nonprofit to those looking for nonprofits? Who might look? There are any number of reasons such a listing would be useful.
