Every few weeks on my e-mail or voice-mail, I have two or three people asking if I know ”someone who’s working to find a better way to welcome new Americans to Minnesota,“ ”someone who has created a way to talk about the value of out-of-school time for young people,“ or ‘the best way to assess quality in early childhood settings.“ Perhaps it is because I teach social policy. Perhaps it is because I work at the University of Minnesota’s School of Public Affairs. But I’ve always been struck by the inefficiencies with how this all works. There has got to be a better way to find someone else who is working on the same thing you are. And do so through a trusted source.
About two years ago, I began to work with others to envision such a platform that combines web resource sharing and in-person meetings. It is a better way for people to connect with each other, share insights and get support for moving forward.
