Presented by NAVEL. A conversation-skillshare between NAVEL board members and collective residents. Part “how-to” and part brainstorming, the group will consider formations of governance and engagement such as feedback loops, community boards, and other methods that NAVEL members and community have employed in order to best share and practice kinship.
