How do we cultivate a resilient and responsive distributed design community? From August 23rd to October 17th RESERVIST is hosting a by-weekly online chat series, where guests share their personal experiences of responding to moments of crisis. The aim is to collaboratively work on a shared vision, align values, and develop best practices.
On August 23rd we will welcome the first guest Emilio Velis.

Emilio is an advocate of the open movement through social impact areas such as open licenses, environmental sustainability, and appropriate technologies to improve vulnerable communities. He is a Fellow of the 16th CALI Foundation class and an Aspen Global Leadership Network member.
