Volunteer: Sponsoring Committee MemberThe Forsyth Sponsoring Committee (FSC) seeks to connect with additional leaders of institutions who want to engage their people in developing leadership skills and organizing for justice. We are building an “organization of organizations” that will strengthen relationships, develop leaders, conduct listening campaigns reaching thousands of residents, and plan public actions on the issues identified (for example: educational equity, health care, housing, living wages, immigrant rights, environmental justice, etc.). We invite leaders of congregations, nonprofits, neighborhood and tenants’ associations, cultural associations, sports leagues, and other institutions in the civic sector to learn more and consider joining the 20+ institutions that have already committed to ‘sponsor’ the building of this new organization. Potential member institutions should be able to build a ‘core team’ of 5-15 leaders who participate regularly and engage your broader membership in the organizing process. As a first step, interested leaders should arrange a meeting with the local organizer to share your story and hopes for our community and learn more about the IAF organizing effort (please contact Megan Gregory at megan.nciaf@gmail.com or 847-287-7794). Then, if you think this effort may align with your mission, we can schedule an information session and conversation with your leadership team to discuss further. We also have ongoing opportunities to engage in leadership training, relationship-building, and organizing activities (internal strategy meetings, listening sessions to determine collective priorities, research-actions, and public actions on issues identified by the collective). The organizer can share about upcoming opportunities depending on where the larger collective is in the organizing process.
