The Web of Change board is launching a new program to build stronger regional based communities. Web of Change Local (or WOCL) will attempt to take the essence of the Web of Change experience and scale it down to a shorter-format, less cost and time intensive offering to make out work more accessible. Check out this brief presentation on how the pilot program will roll out. If you are an alumni of a Web of Change event and want to bring WOCL to your community, email WOC board member Jason Mogus, jason@communicopia.com.
