Collaboration Model
The two leadership tracks intentionally mirror real organizational structure — a strategy/community function and a finance/operations function. Weekly coordination ensured procurement decisions, fundraising messaging, and event planning stayed aligned across both tracks.
Planning cadence
Weekly check-ins + ad-hoc reviews
Decision rights
Function lead decides; co-lead consulted
Shared artifacts
