I was super-d-delighted to see Sudoers out at First Friday AND I'm jazzed about the reboot on April 4th/5th AND curious to know what's being prototyped for membership. I'm currently renewing my HUB membership (already 3 years in, a really open-minded organizer is has their community engagement role) and was prompted to click agree/disagree with the following: *I am joining Hub Oakland to become a member of a community of entrepreneurs, activists, artists, purpose-driven seekers and professionals acting on our passions and unleashing creativity in ways that make us come alive! Our aim is to leave a legacy of a thriving, just and sustainable world. We envision a future where each individual understands that they are inextricably interconnected to all other beings and the Earth; a future where every business, organization, or company will take courageous and mindful action to become a part of the solution and use their potential to create positive impact and equity for all.* *As a part of this community, I understand that it is my responsibility to maintain, and advance the following 8 Hub Oakland Principles:* - *Authenticity*: We invite the whole person into the space and create a container for authenticity to emerge. - *Radical Inclusivity*: We believe in order to create a thriving and resilient community all voices and perspectives must be invited to the conversation. We thrive because we are diverse and multicultural. - *Creativity & Expression*: We believe at the core of transformation is creativity. We inspire each other to express our creativity and purpose. - *Collaboration*: Our meme is innovation through collaboration. We embody the African proverb: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together”. - *Inspiration*: We believe a spark of inspiration has the ability to change the world. We consciously create an atmosphere of inspiration. - *Respect*: We honor each other’s special gifts and differences and keep sacred our physical environment. - *Reciprocity*: We value the opportunity to give to our community and receive from it. - *Effectiveness*: We leverage each other’s strengths and resources and gain the knowledge we need to effectively contribute to making a better world. Then I went back and re-read the Sudo purpose/values and membership sections of the articles at https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association#Article_1._Purpose So, my question: has there been any discussion around membership recruitment/ retention/ rebooting? Curious, Danny p.s. after a raft of raft of other Wednesday commitments, I'm finally done and will see y'all next Wednesday
