In Katherine's own words: "You've got an online community of a few hundred members and regular face to face meetings. Great. Now what? There's an increasing trend in local area communities connecting online and coming together to address local issues. This will look at ways communities can do things for themselves, work together to address local needs and use the collective as leverage to achieve action both on and offline."
