Social Justice: The Keepers of the Commons at The Nantucket Project
Keepers of the Commons is creating a new way to stimulate neighborhoods by identifying and connecting often overlooked community leaders to well-established policy and ideas events. We are cultivating local talent to diversify the pipeline by thinking differently about the traditional leadership development paradigm.
I am honored to have been a 2017 The Keepers Of The Commons at The Nantucket Project 7, and a 2018 The Keepers Of The Commons Facilitator at The Nantucket Project 8. It was amazing sharing this once-in-a-lifetime (twice for me!) experience shared with incredible social justice leaders from Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Thank you Richard Phillips, Maia Comeau and Tom Scott for this amazing opportunity.
