Task Teams Webinar

On March 29th John Connell and Kate Stephenson presented a one hour webinar to update the Yestermorrow community about where we are with the master planning process, and talk about the task teams which are forming to look more in depth into a variety of aspects of the plan. We are currently recruiting community members with expertise in wastewater, wildlife/forestry/agriculture, stormwater/wetlands, energy, solar access, and design to join these task teams. An archive of the webinar is posted below for folks who weren't able to participate on the 29th. Anyone interested in joining one of the task teams is invited to contact me - kate@yestermorrow.org - and I will connect you with the convener of the team.

Recruiting Field Team Members

Yestermorrow’s master planning Core Team has been meeting weekly to move forward with the campus planning process. We’ve brought in a number of experts from the Yestermorrow faculty and local community to advise us on issues of solar access, stormwater, wastewater, and habitat in order to inform the next iterations of the design which we hope to take to the town of Waitsfield for permitting by July, then through the state permitting process. We are currently recruiting interested community members to join a variety of “Task Teams” to work on aspects of the design, including wastewater, solar, stormwater and wetlands, energy, forest/wildlife/agriculture, and design review. We will host a webinar on Thursday, March 29th at 12:30pm to introduce the roles of these different Task Teams and recruit volunteers. If you’re interested in participating and contributing your expertise in one of these areas, please join us for the webinar (an archive will be posted to this blog afterwards).

Webinar 2.22.12

Thanks to everyone who was able to tune in to our Master Planning Update webinar yesterday. BUT if you missed it, don’t worry! We have recorded the presentation and uploaded it to YouTube for your viewing pleasure at your convenience.

The recap: John Connell and I reviewed the process to date on our recent master planning efforts, reviewed the current plans and what we’re working on right now in terms of next steps with the design and planning process. The recording is 1 hr and includes all the slides and audio, with Q&A at the end from 14 participants.

We had so much fun doing this webinar that we’ll plan more as we move forward. It seems like a great way to get feedback, answer questions, and keep everyone updated.
