Building On What’s Already There

Our logo is a wave.

Waves create change through ongoing, reliable and repeated efforts – rarely in a single event. Waves gather up what was already there, then focus and organize it in a new way to create a greater impact than the water they are comprised of would have otherwise. Then they do that over and over.

Most of  communities and organizations have most of what they need to create the change they want. We help them identify it, re-organize it, focus it and act on it.
