shifting culture + strengthening communication starts with you!
As we approach the end of the year with Annual & Strategic Planning processes, we are reminded that the work we've done to build a strong and healthy internal culture is an important grounding & necessary labor for centering our work in values. Our 3C journey continues —building communications, capacity, and community with a focus on internal reflections, team connection, and strengthening partnerships.
ComNet23 Showcase Poster
In our rapidly evolving workplaces & communities, effective communication and collaboration are more important than ever. We all come from different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, making it crucial to understand each other better.

    Shifting Culture & Strengthening Communication
     
    ComNet23 Highlights
    The Communications Network Annual Conference (ComNet23) was held in Atlanta, GA this past September, featuring impactful and transformative ideas, insights, and inspirations for strategic communications. Our Director of Projects, Marcus Cinque Harris (he/him) attended the 3 day event and presented our ShowCase Poster highlighting our team & culture building workshops.
    for individuals and teams
    'Me Mapping' Elements to include in User Guides
    One innovative approach to building team connection in an equitable & inclusive way is the concept of 'Me Mapping.'

    It involves creating a user guide about yourself so that your fellow team members can gain insights into your challenges, joys, interests, and communication style preferences.

    Join us at our Upcoming In Person Meet-ups
    As a fully remote organization, it's rare that we get to share space in person with our partners and peers. So we've decided - we're coming to you! Rootid will be hosting in-person networking meet-ups for thought partnership, solution room style discussions, and strategic community building in New York City, Philadelphia, Washington DC, West Palm Beach, and Oakland in November and December.
    Resources for Strategic Communications
    Did You Miss Our Last Roundtable of 2023?
    Here are resources for building a fundraising strategy that's rooted in social justice values, learning to say no to high-net donors or funders, and building strong relationships with donors, regardless of how much they're able to invest.
    What does it mean to build capacity without the tools and support needed to implement new strategies long term and build sustainable structures? After listening to our community, we decided to move forward with a solution for community organization and smaller nonprofits.
    need extra capacity as we finish out 2023?

    we are rooted in community.
    In partnership, we co-design necessary spaces for strategic thinking, sustainability & growth—using communications & technology as vehicles to advance equity.

    We join with others, envisioning a world where those most impacted are prioritized & communications & technology are used to heal & empower rather than divide. Learn more about our team.
