Cultivate Connections Outside Your Community
Here are our best suggestions and advice for positioning your assembly within your city, town, or region to be a part of the larger community outside of SA. You may find more attendance, new speakers and themes to explore, and opportunities for collaboration on mutual causes by being a locally-engaged organization.
If you have more questions or great advice to add, share on Workplace!
