Oakland Community Group 4 Strategy Workshop

Mon, Oct 19, 5:00 AM
From Community Group 4

We are hosting our fourth strategy workshop for the Oakland Community Group this month to check in on our progress and plan our next steps. This is a space for us to sit down together, review what we have accomplished so far, and talk through the challenges we are currently facing. The goal is to keep our momentum going and make sure everyone feels heard as we refine our priorities for the coming season. This session is intended for anyone who has been involved in our previous meetings or who is looking to get more hands-on with the group’s direction. Whether you have specific ideas to share or you just want to listen in and help with the planning, your input is welcome. We will keep the format simple and focused so we can get through our agenda and still have time to connect as a group. If you are planning to join us, please take a moment to RSVP so we can get an accurate headcount for the space and materials. We look forward to seeing everyone there.

Not all events are in-person; some may be hosted online depending on the group's preference or situation. It's always good to check the event details on Meetup to confirm the format.

Meetup itself is free to use, though some groups might charge a fee for participation to cover event costs. Always check the event or group details for any associated fees.

Success on Meetup can be maximized by actively attending events, participating in group discussions, and reaching out to fellow members. Engaging actively increases your chances of meaningful connections.
