Hello all,
*Apologies for crossposting, you may see this message on other lists you
are subscribed to.*
Most of us in the knowledge sector genuinely care about equity and shared
power. But when things get hard (when resources are tight, timelines are
short, or the stakes feel high) our decision-making processes are often the
first place those values quietly slip away. And honestly, that's not
surprising, because many of us work in organizations that are
under-resourced, volunteer-driven, or navigating significant transition. We
care deeply about doing this work equitably, and yet we often lack the
formal training or organizational infrastructure to translate those values
into our actual decision-making practices.
*This gap is what we're trying to address with our upcoming Collective
Decision Workshop on June 23, from 1pm to 2:30pm ET.* *Sign up on

This is a 90-minute interactive session designed for archivists,
librarians, facilitators, and others doing meaningful work in knowledge
communities, who want their internal processes to actually reflect what
they believe. We'll work through some questions that don't always get
enough airtime:
- Who's really making decisions in your organization, and who should be
part of that?
- What does your current process reveal about how power actually moves
in your team?
- What would a more transparent, inclusive approach look like, and how
do you get there from where you are now?
In the session, we'll practice tools and frameworks we've developed through
nearly two decades of working alongside knowledge communities, including
things we've learned from our own organizational growing pains. These tools
will be assembled into a toolkit for participants, and can be immediately
adapted to your own organization and context, whether you’re
volunteer-driven, loosely structured, or more established.
We're offering sliding scale pricing because we want this to be accessible
(more info about the rationale behind the rates at the sign up link):
- Solidarity Rate: $25
- Standard Rate: $150
- Sustaining Equity Rate: $300
And if the solidarity rate still doesn't work for you, reach out to
katherine.kim_at_educopia.org, and we'll figure it out together.
Hope to see you on June 23!
