Discussion Groups
A CCNet discussion group is an informal network of members of the community who discuss a topic, some of which are very broad, like "Local Foods" and sometimes they are very specific, like "Energy Efficiency Retrofit Finance Innovations."
The goal of the discussion groups is to build relationships between people who are interested in the same subject, to bring together individuals and ideas that may not have been introduced before, and to foster collaboration and cooperation on efforts that help create change in our community.
