“I marvel at all CAWI does each year. There are so many interesting and important projects and initiatives underway, both external and internal to CAWI. It’s really impressive.”

How we’re evolving our structure

We’re currently experimenting with a sociocratic organizational structure. It’s our hope that this structure will allow our staff to share power more equally. It should also allow our grassroots members to hold more power. This journey will continue well into the years ahead. We’re excited to see where it leads us. Learn more about how we’re evolving our structure.
