High Tech Meets High Touch: Using New Technology for Community Building (Webinar)
Tuesday, May 18, 2010
Grassroots grantmaking is high-touch work in an increasing high-tech world. We have seen what happens when citizen leaders get together in the same room for peer learning or dialogue on issues. What new possibilities are opening up to further connect residents within and across neighborhoods using new technology? What is happening under the radar today and how can we make it more inclusive and benefit all communities?
Join us to talk with Steven Clift, Executive Director of E-Democracy.org, the cutting-edge national organization working on this question. For some background now, see: http://e-democracy.org/inclusion and http://stevenclift.com.

If you’re thinking about getting involved in something in your community, do it now. Work gets done by doing.
A lot can happen quickly when people of similar interests come together.
