This is amazing! Thank you for sharing. I'm speaking on this topic at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis in October. If you have any other resources on this topic, let me know! Closing the loop for "Science to Action" is a huge part of the work we do so I'm always looking to learn.

This is great, Frank! @StephODonnell, maybe we can try to bring someone from #Superorganism (@tomquigley ?) or another venture company (#XPRIZE) into the fold!

Hi Cathy! Please check out the below article on group managers. Essentially, we're asking for a 12 month commitment of 1 hour a week (more or less) to promote engagement in WILDLABS groups by sparking conversations, engaging with people's content, and planning 1 virtual event a month to bring the community together. (This could be bringing a speaker in, or just having a 45 minute coffee call for people in the sector to get to know each other and share their work.)

As a group manager, you have the full support of the WILDLABS community team. We have a dedicated Slack channel, monthly calls to support you in your group management, and so much more.

Being a group manager is a great way to give back to the conservation tech community, steer conversations in the direction you think is important, foster a vibrant space for collaboration, and build your network. Shoot me an email if you're interested (alex.rood@wildlabs.net)! I'm happy to hop on a call to discuss more in-depth.

But excited about everything GIS so I follow keenly. 

Thank you for the explanation. 🤍
