Core Overlap
The below graphic represents the initial work of section and community members to map their common areas of interest, programming, and committee work. It shows that there is already significant overlap in the work that we do and the members we serve. If Core is approved in the spring election, this process will continue as members discover new possibilities for collaboration.
