MAKING IT EASIER TO CONNECT
RURAL COMMUNITY LEADERS
Why is connection more important than ever? 

Rural communities are great at connecting and supporting each other locally during times of crisis. We all know that. 

This current crisis, however, is not local. It's global. 

We are all being disrupted and challenged. While we may be feeling alone and isolated in our increasingly quarantined world, we ARE battling this together. As rural communities, we have both, unique challenges and unique solutions that we can share with each other. 

We may not be able to travel or meet in person but we are fortunate to have the technology available to make human connection and collaboration possible during these seemingly impossible times. Let's use it. Let's make our connections stronger. Let's build deeper relationships. 

We are still better together. 

In the spirit of what we believe is an opportunity for connection, we have opened a virtual office space. It's an online office floor with working spaces, meeting spaces and social spaces. All of the collaboration tools we are comfortable using are available from whiteboards, to video/audio/text communication as well as bulletin boards and doc/video sharing. 

I'm hoping that simply knowing that other people are working in the same space will bring some comfort and connection to our lives. 

"But, I have concerns..." 

Us too, but we are opting to give it a shot before dismissing the idea. 

Working in a virtual environment doesn't mean that it's social time, all the time. It doesn't mean that you won't be able to get work done. And it doesn't mean that you have to be "video presentable" all the time (if pj's are your work at home attire, "audio only" is a perfectly acceptable means of communication).  A virtual office is no different from a physical one. When your door is shut, you are working. When you are in the lounge or kitchen, you are open to chit chat. When you are in a meeting room you are collaborating. Appropriateness, expectations and office culture will be part of an evolving process as we build this environment together. 

It also means that you are not alone.
