Description
So you’ve rolled out Sociocracy in your community. Whether it was years ago or just last month, you probably participated in some sort of training as a group and had opportunities to practice and develop your skills together. Now a new member household joins your community? What do you do for them? Repeating the intensive initial training may not be practical with one or two new neighbors. We’ll discuss what we are doing in three communities. We’ll cover what’s working well, and where we have opportunities, and then open to Q&A and discussion so we can learn from each other.
