I came to this topic 3 years ago. For context, Im a Professor of Sustainability Leadership, and a Board Member of Community Forge, which is now the world's leading provider of free open source software for community currencies. About 500 currencies use our tools, for instance, Time Banks USA runs on our software. lye also now become head of research of the Green Money Working Group, which informally brings together some of the top thinkers and innovators on alternative currencies. Info on some of the reasons for this work I describe in my TEDx talk: http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=X5uGLbV5zVo I can help in either of the following ways: a) Leading the organising, production and facilitation of an event, either via the University of Cumbria or Community Forge. Both are non profits. b) Helping another organisation do the organising and production, and instead specialising in advice on agenda, participants and facilitation. It would be great to work with April on this, and any other WEF YGLS who may be interested. I would be delighted to chat in the coming days. Please suggest a date/time.
