Sharing Power

We launched this series of posts in September 2019 to share our journey of moving from a traditional hierarchical nonprofit to a worker self-directed nonprofit. Over the years, we have shared important milestones and our experiences. We continue to learn by doing, and envision this series to be a companion to the formal policies we share in our work with organizations. We hope that by opening up this transition it might help others take the first steps towards sharing power in their workplaces.
