About this event
Community Conversation – Engaging local networks
Join us on September 28th for a Collective Mind Community Conversation on the topic of local networks. Kennedy Miruka, Director of Alumni Relations at Future First Kenya which champions and mobilizes alumni engagement in Kenyan schools, learning institutions, and organizations; and Gillian Perera, Coordinator of Grassroots Networks at Openly Connected (C3) a community development strategy organization that leverages the power of connected communities to create a more equitable society; will join this panel to share their insights and experience on how local networks – where the network’s strategic focus is on a specific geographic unit, i.e. a community, a city, a county, etc. – can be particularly impactful. Knowing where connections are, and are not, and tapping into local experience and leadership, can enable local networks to influence local interactions and also play an essential role in what flows throughout the network. What are the specific advantages and disadvantages of having a locally operating network? What makes local networks effective? Join this interactive and engaging discussion to learn more and share your experiences!

Collective Mind hosts regular Community Conversations with and for our global learning community of network practitioners, each led by a different network practitioner on a topic, methodology, or tool related to networks. These interactive sessions are a space for network practitioners to connect with peers, share ideas and challenges, and cultivate solutions to common problems experienced by networks and network practitioners.
