 * Most pressing questions about networks:** Currently interested in designing peer learning training to build network capacity given the increasing network interest in Me(10 funders) and activity(30 networks in varying forms of development). We expect to launch this training mid next year. Also working on developing useful website and finally working with funders to help get them up the learning curve.


 * Live network experiments (include multiple, if relevant).** As mentioned considerably network activity in Maine, I am directly involved in a coaching/strategy/funding role in 5 and working with 3-4 others supporting their work. We are gradually adding network stories to our website as a way of helping people learn and as mentioned developing a training program for network capacity building


 * Bio**: for profit background in manufacturing and then the resort industry but for the last 20 years have been involved in venture philanthropy, co founding Common Good Ventures 12 years ago and then more recently co founded Maine Network Partners as I became interested in more impact thru flatter, systemic approaches. . Ski and hike and hang out with my kids and grandkids as much as I can.
