HubDC Community Meeting this Sunday
Alex & Allison presented about HubDC at the Friday night Ignite event for Social Justice Camp. This Sunday, they’re hosting a meeting for anyone interested in getting involved in the project. Here’s the email with all the details:
Hi everyone,
After speaking with many of you individually about Hub DC, we’re excited to invite you all to the first Hub DC community meeting this Sunday!
What is Hub DC?
Hub DC will be a space for people who want to change our world for the better. It will provide a platform for social innovators to meet, collaborate, and scale their ideas for maximum impact, whether they’re working on green energy initiatives, healthcare systems in developing countries or anywhere in between. Hub DC will do this by serving as a co-working space and social business incubator, by hosting events, and by facilitating collaborations between people and organizations. While many member projects will have a national or international focus, Hub DC as an organization will remain committed to channeling that creativity towards addressing the most serious problems affecting DC residents and communities.
Who is Hub DC?
Hub DC is a part of the global Hub network, a web of 24 spaces (with 60 more in development!) that all share a mission of social justice, grassroots innovation and collaboration. As a member of a Hub, you’re connected to a community that extends from Toronto to Johannesburg.
Community Meeting
The central concept behind Hub DC is that it’s driven by the community – it provides the resources that members need to have their greatest impact. Because of this, we want to reach out to each of you to join us in the co-creation of Hub DC.
At the first community meeting, it’s our chance to think big … how can Hub DC incubate social innovation, strengthen the local economy, and unify segmented groups? How can we build a culture and a momentum that encourages others to join? What do we want the space to look like?
Sunday, March 14th
3:30pm – 5:00pm
St. Stephen’s Church Dining Room
1525 Newton St. NW
Please RSVP by Friday by sending me an email: alex.denny@the-hub.net. Also, please feel free to invite anyone else who you think would be interested in co-creating Hub DC.
See you Sunday!
-Alex and Allison
