We gather West Marin Executive Directors for a quarterly EDs Breakfast, to learn about common issues and share common concerns. It is an exceptionally amiable gathering of people working on a shoestring in rural communities providing essential services... convinced we're all in it together.
At our Summer 2015 breakfast, ED's agreed on two new collaborative efforts:
• to work together with local media, so we can create better stories and better coverage of key issues in West Marin.
• to host an event for individual donors that would feature West Marin's finest: our food, our farms and our fabulous region, rich in resources but challenged with real poverty, real needs. We'll develop this more at our autumn breakfast.
Here’s a wonderful photo of some of West Marin’s dedicated Executive Directors.
