DESCRIPTION:COMMUNITY CALL: Relational Dynamics in Rural Communities // July 18 @ 4 PM EST \nRounding out our series on overlooked dimensions of inclusion\, we’ll be taking a deeper look at the topic of rural ecosystem building.

SUMMARY:CO.STARTERS Community Call
DESCRIPTION:CO.STARTERS May Community Call: Opening the Gender Conversation\nNext up in our series on overlooked dimensions of inclusion is… gender. We know\, you’re probably thinking that we’ve already covered this. And we have.

SUMMARY:CO.STARTERS January Community Call
DESCRIPTION:Getting Starters Unstuck \nIf you’re a community leader supporting entrepreneurs\, we’re pretty sure you’ve experienced it. Someone comes in looking for help\, which you are happy to offer. However\, it takes over an hour to even begin understanding what their business is\, let alone identifying their issue and pointing them in the right direction. On this month’s community call\, our founder Enoch Elwell will share his structured technique on how to quickly and efficiently get starters unstuck and provide greater value—in 30 minutes or less.

SUMMARY:CO.STARTERS September Community Call: What's Next?
DESCRIPTION:A question we’ve been hearing a lot from our CO.STARTERS community is “What’s next?” What’s next for our starters? What’s next for our local community? What’s next from CO.STARTERS? We’ve realized that the answer is not a one-size-fits-all approach. As CO.STARTERS changes and grows\, part of that change is developing new ways to support you better on the local level. In our September Community Call\, we’ll be sharing some of the ways we’re evolving (including our entire philosophy of how we engage communities)\, as well as new supports for current programs we’ll be rolling out in the coming months. We also will have an opportunity to hear from you—our community—to learn what you want from us. \n
