While taking some downtime before my next adventure (still coming soon), I planted a seed with a handful of community leaders, not knowing it would start to immediately sprout. The seed: How do we address the civic engagement desert in our smaller, northern communities as well as pool resources for greater reach? With continued population growth in counties north of Seattle (Snohomish, Island, Skagit, Kitsap, and Whatcom), opportunities for civic engagement BEYOND POLITICS also needs to grow. As the need for civic engagement and civil discourse increases, so does the need for organizations to provide these opportunities. NorthwestWA Civic Circle (NWCC) aims to be the nonpartisan hub for groups large and small to work collaboratively on their respective missions. Let's address the civic engagement desert by broadening the number of opportunities across these counties, and expanding those engagement opportunities beyond politics. Thank you, Erin Murray, SPHR, Nate Nehring, Susan Paine, Corrie Wilder, Ed.D., and Steve Woodard for watering the seed. Learn more, and let's work together. https://lnkd.in/gJWndnyP

“I believe many people care and would like to help make change, yet we are still using limited tools from the toolbox when we don’t have to.
