I’m writing this entry much later than usual because I was co-teaching a Civics class and then went out for drinks with some of the students afterwards. I don’t think I’ve written much about my involvement with Civics Connection. We’re a small organization that promotes “active citizenship”–building a person’s capacity to be an effective leader in the places where they are invested (work, community, etc.). We offer a ten-week educational seminar in the fall and spring to young professionals in their 20s and 30s. I was a student last year and then I ended up on the Board of Directors. A few weeks ago, I was elected Board Chair. Now I can check off Step #3(b) in my plan to achieve total world domination.
