STAFF WIRE
Welcome to the Ujima Staff WIRE! The Staff WIRE is an extension of our monthly #CO-DIRECT meeting, which happens on the first Wednesday of each month, meant to update and provide a consistent window of opportunity for Ujima members to see and participate in key activities led by staff within the Ujima Ecosystem. The Ujima Staff WIRE is a monthly publication.
Governing Ujima
Earlier this year, we invited Ujima Members to join us in developing a structure for a member run Board at the Ujima Project.
In September, the group began its “Peer Governance Learning Session” in an effort to deepen knowledge about how other groups have created and organized boards. The Peer Governance Learning Sessions are an opportunity for the Board Launch Design Team to gain insight into what has worked, and hasn’t worked, from peers in the Ujima ecosystem.
You can watch the full archived video of the inaugural Governance Peer Learning Session with Lisa Owens from City Life/Vida Urbana on our Youtube page now.
We want you to learn with us! We encourage you to take notes and invite you to send follow up questions or feedback to our Governing Ujima Study Doc.
