From transactional to the transformative
In the Community Builders' Summit, we provided spaces to explore how we can evolve our community activities from transactional to the transformative. To do this, we started with who, from ourselves - and our roles and presence as community builders.
This was a day of virtual workshops and speakers with an international group of passionate community leaders - like you.

There’s a growing awareness of the importance of social connections, a sense of belonging, mutual trust, collaboration, leadership and change.
Designing communities for change begins with understanding who we are serving, defining the change we want to see, and exploring the different strategies on how to commit to this change.
