Ecosystem Building is... (part 2)
Hello Reader,
... and a good morning from the cold but sunny mountains of Virginia!
I recently joined Debbie Irwin and her team to help strengthen the regional ecosystem for women and BIPOC entrepreneurs as Head of Programs at the Shenandoah Community Capital Fund. Over the course of the next two years, our plan is to build capacity of local support organizations, build ecosystems within these rural communities and devise a regional outreach and storytelling strategy for the entire Valley.
I know what you're thinking: This sounds too good to be true. And I couldn't agree more! In between seasons of Ecosystems for Change, I'll give you a peek behind the scenes of my work here in the Shenandoah Valley.
Stay tuned!
