Communication Guild

The focus of this work will be to develop a Communications Strategy for the CoLab, embodying it by doing work to satisfy some of the immediate communications needs of various parts of the CoLab. By collecting information from reports, and interactions with people and groups, they will observe and interact with the existing communications patterns in the CoLab. Out of that process, the Guild will develop a communication and engagement strategy based on Permaculture and Regenerative principles, one that honors and aims to accelerate the succession of the Vision, Mission and Aims (VMAs) of CoLab and its members.
