Working Group Member Nominations

Brigade Congress 2022 Participatory Governance
,
1

Nominate Working Group Members! Working Groups (WGs) will be accountable to carry out the activities specified in each Branch Charter, including branch governance, resource delivery, etc.

:spiral_calendar: Nominations are currently OPEN.

Interest and critical mass of nominations and Nominee Trailblazers interest and capacity will be a first test to determine whether this Network Organizing Branches structure can work for the Network-at-large. If there are a critical mass of nominations, we will bring that group together to build consensus on next steps. The hope and process for the future will be entirely dependent on this trailblazing volunteer-led, volunteer-driven work.

Here are some comments shared in the Participatory Governance area at Brigade Congress:

  • One-on-ones could help explain the model to the extent it can be imagined what is at stake
  • Have brigades elect 1-6+ ppl to rep them in a few relevant working groups. They should be accountable to their teams.
  • lots of outreach + mentoring needed.
